I am so sorry you're having to say goodbye to your gorgeous Cruz. Thanks for sharing a photo of him.

Years ago, we had a brother and sister spaniels. The brother was baited and died and we took the sister to live with Mum and I. She pined and pined. I don't know, but it may have been better for her to have seen her brother again, to sniff him and know he was dead, rather than feel she had been left alone.

Your other pooch will still mourn, but I think, they're part of the family and have been inseparable. Let him be part of saying goodbye as well. I don't believe he'll dig him up. Dogs have dignity and respect too.

I hope Cruz has a lovely spot in the garden to rest.
