this one sucks..

me and Katie both woke up, she got up and went out, then came back and called Tye and he jumped up and walked pretty gingerly out of my room and went outside.... i was sitting there for a second, and i heard Katie making noise out there, so i went out to see what was going on... and he was lying there, with her next to him, i just thought that she was petting him untill i asked what she was doing and she was bawling.... then i put my hand on him and he wasnt breathing... he took one small gasp and that was it....

she said he came up the stairs, into the door, and just dropped dead right there... just fell over and died...

he was also older than i thought, i always thought he was in the 14-15 year old range, well i got him from my brothers wife about 2 years before they were together, and they have been together for 15 years...

ive had Tye half my life, and he was the last living thing that me and my dad shared, as my dad helped me train him just like we did with the Shepards...

he was the best dog i have ever owned... and honestly, i dont know if i can take dealing with this again, so he might be the last dog i ever owned...
