So so sorry to hear that Phil. Last autumn we lost our Toy Poodle Milka, he'd been with us for over 17 years, longer than some children hang around. The only comfort is he passed away in his own bed at home. You will miss Lady as you would with any loss, just remember how much you enjoyed her company. If she was your only dog get another once you feel up to it, maybe even consider getting two, it makes losing one a wee bit easier to deal with.
When we lost Milka we still had Abbey (she was my parent's dog), after a few months we decided to fill the big hole Milka left and actually ended up with two, a Shih Tzu pup (Poppy) and a 14 month old Shih Tzu (Suzy), Poppy is plain mental and Suzy is the sweetest natured, most gentle dog we've ever had, puts up with all Poppy's carry on without complaining.
