My best buddy Moki was killed by a heavy piece of farm equipment. It was quick and he didn’t suffer at all. I on the other hand cried for a month and still miss my 4 1/2 year old Border collie mix. I have found that the best medicine for this is to get another buddy as soon as possible. There is something about a pup chewing and peeing on stuff that distracts and heals the soul. My replacement dog is another Border Collie mix named Ruger. He is just what the doctor ordered. He is great at working cows and finds shed antlers from hundreds of yard away. He is actually smarter than Moki was although I would give anything to have them both, we would make a good team.
