She was a 40 pound black Labrador mix that I found over 15 years ago so it's not an incredible surprise...family was warned several months ahead of time.
Not all of us were on the same page but all would have done the same thing today in light of her rapid decline from yesterday.
Woke up today and she had wet the floor.
She could not support her weight on her back legs even with my help to go out to relieve herself.
I miss her too much.
She was much loved by our family.
She and I were constant companions for the last few years. She was my first line of defense... alert system...keeping my hyper-vigilence under control... until her hearing and vision (cataracts) left her in her last year.
I am able to cry for her which is something for me.
Vet ER was wonderful and calming with her. One of their staff met me in the parking lot to carry her in on a gurney, no less.
I asked them to administer drugs as soon as possible because my girl was frightened.
This was the right thing to do but it still hurts too much.
She was my 'best girl' with the exception of cosette jr.
Four kitties are aware of what's gone on. So special and strange to experience this with them.
Two are avoiding me still which is their way.
Her passing is a tremendous loss.
She was my 'best girl' dog ever.
