We got a puppy when I was about 5 years old and we named him Bert after Bert and Ernie. He was my best friend growing up. Near the end he was blind but would listen for me and sniff me out, still following me through the house. He hardly ever barked or whined, just the sweetest little black terrier. We had to put him down when I was in college when he injured his back and couldn't walk anymore. I still miss him. I hope you get to enjoy a couple more good times with your dog.
