sentimental: I have a stuffed animal that my old dog used to lay by.  He's dead now but I still keep that stuffed animal in my room.

I am sorry your dog passed away, I totally understand wanting to keep a momento to remind you of him. Was he old when he passed?

He was about 12.  He was my first dog though! He was a sweetheart.  It is nice keeping something to remind me of him.

I'm glad you have something that helps keep his memory alive. :)
