My little girl is gone. Laura helped her to the bridge about 1/2 an hour ago. She's had a really up and down week, and although she was quite perky this morning, she deteriorated through the day. It was time. She fought so long and hard to stay with me, but she was in pain, and it was time for her to rest. Godspeed my little lumpybumpy wonderdoggie. She has taken my heart. The house is so very very very empty.
