Moosh, 1992 - 2007 Options

[mikebrowne]

Our 14 year old Springer Spaniel, Moosh, passed away on March 29, 2007.

I don't think I've ever felt so sad.

We knew for some time that it was coming as she had severe arthritis and suffered a minor stroke 3 months ago. On the 27th of March she had another stroke and could barely stand on her own. She stopped eating and just laid behind her ###### chair.

We took her to the vet fully knowing what he was going to suggest, which he did. The experience of being with her while she went to sleep is one we'd never change even though it was very hard in number of ways.

We're dealing with it in our own ways. I'm posting on my blog about it:

Thanks for reading. I really miss my friend.

She's everywhere in this house, but nowhere.
