person A: My 15 year old dog just died.  He was my buddy and I am all broken up because of his passing.
person B: Man that is really hard.  I can relate however b/c my sweet Riley(dog) just had to be put to sleep due to congestive heart failure
person A: Yeah_comma_ I understand it was his time to go_comma_ but it doesn't make it any easier.
person B: It doesn't.  Try hard to stay positive and remember he isn't suffering anymore
