Oh, I'm so sorry about your labby girl. No matter how long they live, it's just not long enough.

She has aged in the last few years, hips, eyes, hearing, but she still had tons of spunk! She had a great day Sat, played in the yard, helped dig, there was a bag of bones that fell in the pantry-jackpot, totally normal day, no sign of what was ahead. She had dinner and went out with her brother (another lab). Usually she is out for a while in the yard and comes to the door when ready to come in. We didn't see her come for a long time and went to check on her. She had laid down on the patio just like she sleeps and was peacefully gone. We were so lucky, she was where we could find her, it doesn't look like she suffered, it looks like she peacefully went to sleep. It has been very hard, lots of tears! The vet was so kind to meet us up at the clinic Sunday morning, that did make it easier for all of us. She went out today for cremation and we did decide to receive her ashes. Thanks!
I'm bawling my eyes out for you!!! I lost my beloved boxer Bourbon just a few months ago, and it's so fresh in my mind ugh, those little creatures don't know what they do to us!!
I put his little metal i.d. tag on my keychain and sometimes it jingles the right way and makes me happy.
We had a call from the vet a week or so after we had him put down, and wondered what on earth they wanted ~ they had taken a paw impression of him and had his name on it! such a nice memento for sure.
I know it's not easy going thru this, my diet suffered for 3 weeks too! Know that we're all here for you and so many of us have gone through it As cliched as it sounds, it does get a bit better with time.
I am so, so sorry to hear this. Our fur babies are so important in our families. I hope you have many good memories to help you get thru this sad time.

So sorry to hear it.
