So sorry. It is an amazing thing to really get to know a pet. And then to lose them is so hard. The tears streamed when I had to have my Cocker Spaniel put to sleep. And as I drove home with her and dug the hole in my yard. I still occasionally dream about both my dogs. They were so special as I'm sure your's was too.
Thanks Duwan. I feel that she wouldn't let go until she knew I'd be cared for by the rest of the group. Like we had an agreement. She trained these other dogs and I can see them all stepping up to be the next matriarch, or background security. Driving home after the Youth in Asia vet (thank you to David Sedaris for the language) is the worst. I don't think it should be allowed. My border collie also of 15 years died in 07 and I can still remember Tony Bennett's "Smile" on the radio on the drive home. Surprised I didn't go right into a ditch. Thanks for reading and for sharing.
my heart is breaking.

It never gets easier. My baby turns 13 this year and I know I'm going to be a blubbering mess when he goes. Sending hugs and hopes for healing.
Thank you Julie.
