Thanks, we had that dog since both my kids were babies, it has been hard on the whole family, but I treated that dog good and have no regrets. I'm grateful she died while I was petting her, telling her she was a good girl, I'm sure she felt safe the whole time. I'm also grateful it was quick and painles, anybody would hope to go so easy. She still was enjoying life getting around good and eating good, atleast she wasn't sick and crippled. Ten minutes before she passed I was thinking maybe she had a year or two left while she was standing there wagging her tail. I think she was pretty lucky to go the way she did, at home, with the people she loved still enjoying life. She will be missed and always loved. I burried her next to my other healer, who died a few years earlier and my childhood healer mix who died in 2001.
