I'm sorry about you losing your sweet dog! Itchy was so cute and looked like he would be a very loving dog. I believe Itchy is up in Heaven with God and Jesus and all the angels. The reason that I believe that is because I had a St. Bernard, Max. I loved him dearly but had to put him down when he became so ill. About a year after he died I saw a man who looked familiar with a St. Bernard that looked exactly like Max. I was walking to the store and I wanted to go pet the St. Bernard. I missed that! I walked up to the man to ask if I could pet his dog and they both disappeared right in front of me! I think it was my Max and I think he was with my Grandpa' who also was up in Heaven which is why the man looked somewhat familiar, About a week later my mom also saw Max. She was driving to work at night and was a little worried because she didn't work in the best area. She looked in the rear view mirror and there was Max in the back seat! She wasn't afraid anymore after she saw Max. I may sound crazy but I think Itchy and Max are up in Heaven having a wonderful time together!
I wish you the best in this sad time. I'll say a prayer for you also.
