Ugh...

One of my family's dogs just died this afternoon. My dad was the only one home with her, and he's not very useful, so I don't know if it would have made a difference if someone more observant was home. My mom was saying that she didn't eat her last 3 meals, and was only eating one meal a day (she normally has two I guess) for the past week. I had just played chase the ball with her last week and she seemed fine. Still, so sudden...

The saddest thing for me was looking at her face. Her eyes were open, and that made me think that it was extra painful for her at the end.

She was a German Shepherd mix that we got from the pound 12-13 years ago. She ruled, of course, and I'd like to think that she had a good life.

Anyway, I'm bummed. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Sorry to hear that. Your dog became real old though.
