I am so sorry about Flash. It is truly heart breaking to lose a little one. And, having lost beloved ones myself, over the past few decades, I know the depth of sorrow you must feel, and I'm very glad to know about Flash, however briefly he was here. And, I'm glad to know how well he was cared for.
I hope his sibs will bring you comfort and joy, and still, I know, you will grieve for Flash.
It is my belief we will all meet up again (which is why I plan to go to doggie heaven instead of just plain heaven).
Please take good care,
