I'm very sorry for your loss. We lost our german shepherd a couple weeks ago, and we are still upset. I know our sampson isn't a chicken like sweet pea, but like you said about sweet pea being with you thru thick and thin. So was our Sampson. He saved my life once when an intruder tried to come in our house, and it really bothers me that we couldn't save his.
So, please know I know exactly how you feel, and I'm sorry you lost your best friend too.
