My Sweetums went to the Bridge this morning. She had been failing badly over the weekend and last night she just couldn't seem to get comfortable in her bed and was up and yelping every 1/2 hour or so. When I took her to the vet this morning, the vet told me that her organs were all starting to fail. Dr. Cooper said that she could give her a remedy to help her kidneys, but it was just a matter of time (probably only a few days). I made the decision to help her on her way without any more pain. She had clearly been uncomfortable the night before and I didn't want her to hurt. She fought a valiant battle right up to the end. She was such a tough old girl :hearts: RIP Miss Sweetums. See you at the Bridge.
Here is her picture from the calendar that DH made for me this year which is just like her.
And here's last years.

:holyshp: Oh goodness,
to hear about Miss Sweetums. I wish I had some words of comfort for you; but all I can offer is a few 
for you and your crew and a few of those magical DLC 
to heal your broken heart. I know she will be missed dearly. Will go light a right now for her. Run free and painless at the bridge you beautiful girl.
