I am so very sorry for your loss Sir,
They are such a big part of our families & give us unconditional love throughout their lives.
I just lost my boy Duke on Tuesday @ 13 years old & back in June I lost my little girl Caledonia @ 17 years old. I cried like a little baby for both. Since I never had human kids, they are/were my Furry Kids. At one point & for 8 years total I had all 4 together (2 dogs & 2 cats) now I am down to one older dog (Sprinkles). I lost the first of the 4 (Kitty) Shadow back in 2017
I share your pain & sense of emptiness, soon you will look back fondly at the memories you made with ACE! If I could suggest...Anything you have left over I.E. food, supplies, etc you may consider donating it to the local animal shelter. They are always looking for help & when the time comes please consider a shelter dog or cat. There are so many with hearts just as big, waiting to be great companions!
God Bless
Bill
