It is so sad to read this, but you can take heart in that you know she had the best care and a very fulfilled life and that you always did the right thing for her, and when the time came as it does for all things that are made of flesh and blood, you did the right thing for her again. It is a very big wrench but a dog like Nell should not live a half life on medication. All i can say is thank you Nell, you have given me lots of enjoyment reading about your hunting exploits and i will go back and re read them all. R.I.P Nell, the little dog that left a big impression.
