Maggie: 1994-2009
I had to take Maggie to the vet's today. She fell, and could not get up.
I rescued her from the City Pound back in 1995. She was already about a year old; that makes her 15. Not bad for a dog her size (75 lbs in her prime).
She had hip dysplasia - common in Shepherds - so we knew it was coming soon. The last few months she was falling a lot, but always managed to get back up or to be able to stand after a little help. Not today.
Just before she fell, I'd brushed her, trimmed a couple of her nails, and let her finish off some ice cream. Our last moments together before the fall were good.
I will miss her.

So sorry for your loss, Lee. Pets are such important parts of the family.
Lee - I'm sorry to hear about Maggie. Dogs are such good and faithful pets. I'm sure you have many fond memories of her. Dogs are semper fi!!
I'm sorry for your loss. I had to my dog to sleep two years ago and it still hurts.
I'm so sorry, Lee. It's always tough to lose a close animal friend, especially one that's been w/ you for so long.
I'm sorry to hear about Maggie. As expected as it is, it's never easy.
My heart goes out to you! About a year ago our "Duke" had to be put to sleep after 14 years with us. He was such a good dog! Cathy
Thank you for all your kind thoughts.
Lee, I am very sorry about your pets.
