So sorry for the loss of your family member and also that you had the extra stress of finding an alternative vet. The photos are a lovely tribute and my favourite is the one of her in the swim suit too!
Good bye My Lady

All we can do is give them our best and you did. Now she is free to run again. Many hugs and thoughts are with you.

I am so sorry for your loss. What a fitting tribute to a beautiful little Lady. I think all animals know when it's time for quiet reflection. ((Hugs)) to you during this difficult time.

Deepest Condolences. It is amazing how deeply our pets imprint on our hearts, isn't it?
On another note, although the life expectancy for these dogs is often listed at 12 - 14 yrs, I think if you read through the posts here {see esp. one in the health forum on life expectancy}, MANY MANY of them live far longer.
It seems that 17 is not as uncommon as one may think. That always gives me hope when I look at my two B's…... Jazz is only 2.5 yrs and Keoki is only 9 mos, and I like to think I have YEARS ahead of me with them! -
so sorry for you and the rest of your clan. Our hearts go out to you all.

What a sad time for you and your family. My heart goes out to you. The love for our dogs is only surpassed by our grief when they leave us. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

I'm so sorry. It is something you can never really prepare yourself for.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, 17yrs. is just great that you had her that long, shows that you took excellent care of her. She must have been a very happy dog, good that you still have her sons. I lost my cat of 18 yrs. this summer, I had to put her down. It was a first for me and even though I knew it was time for her, stopped eating, deaf, couldn't see well, it was so difficult. May Lady rest in peace and may you remember all the good times you had together. I hope and pray I have my Sahara for that long.
