It is with tears in my eyes and pain in my heart that I tell you that my Angel died this morning. She was just over 10 years old. This past 6 months she has been declining with the advent of renal failure and I knew the end of her life was near. I was starting to weigh the possibilities of calling the vet to help her over the Rainbow Bridge. She never lost her love for food even til the day she died. She ate a good breakfast this morning, and even acted like she wanted to go for a walk last night. I wish I had taken her now.... I miss her lying by the front door to keep cool, and I'll miss her bonking me in bed with her head 3-4 times a night to let her out to pee. Even tho I knew she was failing, I am having such a hard time. I miss her so much.
I had a dream about her last night, that I had just bathed her and her coat was soft and fluffy and I buried my hands and face in her hair, altho she was starting to lose her coat, and looking quite scruffy.
She was a true, sweet natured, loving Newfoundland. Her confirmation was not correct, she was horribly bow-legged in the front and her coat was difficult to manage. But she was a delight, and so much like me it's scary.
I have not been on Newf Net much lately as my son joined the Army and I have been hanging out in the Army Mom's forums, but I knew this was the place to come to share my sorrow. Thank you so much for letting me ramble and share how much I loved this girl.
