Man that is tough.
I feel for you.
That's a long run for a dog. Glad she was loved so much.

Sorry to hear of your loss Mike...

Our Chihuahua-Terrier mix is 16 come this Easter... She too is deaf to all but the sharpest of sounds.
And partially blind in the eye that's left. (She lost her left eye in the in-house dog fight of last year.)
She's a tough one and STILL 'rules the roost'... Or maybe, like humans, the other dogs let her believe that.

She is definitely a part of the family and when she's finally gone... It'll be pretty tough around here too.

Olivia is up on your Dad's knee once again just a'cooing as I'm sure she did when he scratched her just so...
As only he could do. We'll keep you and yours in our thoughts and prayers.

Sorry for your loss, riflemike. Sounds like you gave her a great home for her time here with us.

Sorry to learn this. Most of us take the passing of a pet much harder than the passing of humans. That's because most humans have some baggage problems. But pets are just pure love and trust, and we really miss them and their innocence when they are gone.
