Today we had to say a sad farewell to our old Sheltie girl Dodie at age 16. She's been doing great up until now and getting around very well, but when we were eating lunch I looked over and saw her seizing so we went over to comfort her. When she came out of it she wasn't able to get up or stay up and was panting and coughing like crazy so we took her to the emergency vet and by the time she got there she was coughing up blood. We had to make the hard decision to have her put to sleep, but I think her time was just up and she wouldn't have had the quality of life anymore, so it would have been cruel to try to drag it out.
Run free little girl.
As a puppy. She's the one on the right.
A few years ago.
And a couple weeks ago.
Ironically it's one year to the day when baby Boris went over the bridge....
