Thank you everyone. She really was a sweet dog and very protective of the boys all her life!
Charlie D, you see, I'm a real sucker for dogs.

I have 5 others. One that's 13 has had a stroke, but, still jumping around like an idiot

One that is 8, one that is 6 and two are 2. I only had 2 dogs growing and I guess I'm making up for it now. If I could, I would take every dog I see dumped out here. For the love that these animals give, I will gladly go through the rough time of them dying. I'm glad that she didn't die alone.
I know a lot of people that have had a pet for so long and not be able to take seeing it again, and there is nothing wrong with that. It just shows how much you cared and loved them and don't want to see another one go through and break your heart, but, like I said,I'm a real sucker for them

It doesn't mean I don't care, I just don't know life without them
