OMG, Jimmy, your news just breaks my heart...

You are one good man in my book, Mister, and of course you're RIGHT about dogs having souls & going to Heaven -- IMHO, all dogs go there (no matter what!) which is more than I can say about plenty of people...

Many of us here has had at least one gut-wrenching experience that was something like yours, having to put down our beloved companion for one unfair reason or another -- I so empathize with digging the grave & wrapping them up in their own blanket...

Please know that we're all here for you at this terrible time, Jimmy, and God bless.
