My 17.5 year old dog died today. She was in great health up until
Monday when she and just collapsed outside while on a pee-pee trip,
went into a heat stroke and within two days every organ system shut
down. She has been my dog my entire adult life. My entire
marriage had my dog in it. She was around way before my kids were
born. This dog has been my baby. Since she was an larger
dog, 70 pound half aerdale/half black lab so her presence is missed
terribly. Its only been a few hours and our home is so solemn and
lonely. She was always in the hub of everything. Our lives
are so empty. I miss my girl.
