My Abby was sick for the last couple days, I cked on her last night about 2:30 and she was just laying and breathing hard, I knelt down to pet her for awhile and then went to bed, when I got up this morning she was gone. I love her and I miss her so much today,. I cannot stop crying, I could not find anyone to help take her to the vet and finally broke down and called my son to come over, I hate asking for help, but the vet and the warden would not do it and did not know anyone who would. She weighed about 150 lbs, so it was no small task lifting her. I keep wanting to call her to go outside with me, or thinking I will step on her if I dont watch where I am walking. This is so hard to have something for all these years and lose it. I had a small nap this afternoon as I had such a sick headache, and when I woke up, something felt terribly wrong...... I lost my other dog about 12 years ago, and got Abby after that, I forgot how hard this was.
