I'm sure in their own way they were very thankful for the hard work and love you and your wife put into their care. They had wonderful lives with you, and that's something you both should be very proud of.
My fox terrier passed away when I was maybe 17 or 18, and it hurt deeply. Still, he was loved and cared for as a member of the family, and I know that he passed away after a truly wonderful and full life. I take solace in that.
