I truly believe that God blessed me with her and that she waited for me to say goodbye. The vet said that she waited. He was wonderful. I just can't believe that a dog so full of life could get so ill so quickly. It started after Easter with the excessive urination and thirst. That improved in 10 days and then about 4 days later, she slipped and hurt her shoulder, although I don't think she was her usual, carefree self after Easter. She was a very stoic dog. I guess I will never really know how bad she felt. She knew that I couldn't let her go however so she waited for me and then left on her own. I am grateful to her for that.
