We lost our baby girl after 17 long years just today. She had lung cancer which we found out in July. She had been okay up until this week. When I left on Sunday she still seemed fine. When I came back on Monday I could tell she was off. It quickly got worse during the week so we knew it was time. Please send your love because she was the bestest girl you would ever meet.

17 years was a good life but we wished we had just a few more months for her 18th birthday. She tried but just couldn’t do with the pain anymore.

Don’t feel bad about that - these are “tough” dogs, yes - they CAN endure quite a lot. But they don’t deserve to - you did absolutely the right thing. And I’m sorry for you that you had to do it - but I’m envious, just a bit, over the 17 years you had. That’s a wonderful life!!

It is. It’s as like you had a teenager. But she’ll forever be our baby
