Thank you so much, everyone, for your lovely words which are very comforting to me. I dug a big hole in the backyard today and was going to make a memorial and plant a brug on top, but my husband said it wasn't deep enough and the ground was really hard so we elected to have the vet bury her. I've never seen a dog die before, and she went right in front of us, and it was really, really hard for us, but she went very quickly and peacefully. Hubby thinks now that she might have had an aneurysm. She was very healthy up to six days before she died. She just stopped eating and in the last two days couldn't get herself up to go potty.

I really feel bad burdening everyone with this problem of mine, but you have all been very kind, and I really appreciate your friendship. My husband and I don't have kids. Our Duke and Duchess and Madam are our kids so this has really leveled a blow to me. It does feel like someone kicked me in the stomach. I will definitely miss her following me around the garden, and I will miss her sweet face.

Thanks again, everyone, for your thoughtfulness. I just need to grieve for a while. You are right that she won't be forgotten.

Hugs,
Clare

This picture was the last one I took of her on December 15. Duke wants to know where his little sister went!
