Understand U Daydreamer. My dog was my best ever mate. Staffy/heeler, was with me 24/7. He ended up going blind, then deaf, then "demented", would find him facing a corner not knowing how to get out. Bit more to it, but ended up taking him to the vet. Had him cremated and for the last 12 years he's been sitting on a mantlepiece at my friends house.
