One of Them Died This Morning!

A personal story in the experience: I Have a Dog
I have always been amazed at how different my two girls are - were.  Both are part Rottweiler, but one is part beagle (H) and one is part shepard (Z).  My wife was totally dependent on one of them (H) who was always a little sickly and didn't run and play much.  I always favored the other dog (Z) who is lively and rambunctious. Well, we found out this morning that H has had a cancerous growth on her heart for a while, and she finally callapsed this morning. We rushed her to the Emergency Vet and she passed within the hour. It was a total shock... but we're handling it.  My wife is in a real bad way, but opted to go to work today anyway. Our wonderful dog will be missed. She was a beautiful spirit and a loving companion. Couch potatoes were never loved as much as this one!

I am so, so sorry. I know how hard it is to lose a pet. They are part of your family.

Thanks Chelie,
This dog was truly a loving family member, as the other one still is. She will be missed.

Just an update, because it's been over a year since H passed away. My wife is totally in love with the dog that we rescued a few months after H died. The new one, E, is similar to H in that she is lazy and likes to sleep a lot. We took her on knowing that she may not last too long because she was so old, but she's surprised us and gotten much healthier and seems even young sometimes. And she and Z get along very well. Small miracles!

My condolences on the loss of your dog H. As a longtime dog lover, I can certainly empathize!

You are truly blessed to have E and Z. I know that you will make the most of your time with them.
