Thanks, sounds like many of you have been here before. It's harder than I imagined, like I said she's was just a dog, but she was also our baby for 14 years. Like a child they love you, look up to you and depend on you.
I think the hardest was the last few days she had. I would sit on the floor and stroke her head and pet her. She just looked up with those sad brown eyes. It was like she was saying "Hey dad, the deal was I love you unconditionally and you take care of me. Well something is terribly wrong so please make it better."
Of course I couldn't make it better and couldn't explain it to her. All we could do was let her know we loved her. She had a good life and her time was up. That's how it works. I'm sad, but happy we had her for so may years.
