I'm sorry for your loss, Chandlersdad. My one is also ancient, 98 in dog years (14 in human years). Got a scare just the other day, but the vet said no such worries just yet, and the lady at the doggie parlor said they easily reach 18.
I know you feel horrible, but death is the most natural thing in the world, it should not be feared for yourself or anyone you love. We are all immortal. Get yourself a new labby, Chandler is already having his next adventure, and celebrate the great life that he had. The irony is if he's a newly graduated 3D human now, you will likely not like him very much.
Our suffering is rooted in desiring permanence, the moment you embrace impermanence, things ease up immediately, and you treasure the present moment. I hope you guys feel better soon.
