Oh Annie what a dreadful shock. I am so so sorry.
I can sort of know how you feel, our last greyhound but one ran in from the garden early one morning, ran to her bed and gave a sort of squeak. As I turned round I could see she was sitting down but her front paws just slid to the floor, a couple of pants and she was gone.
I would like to think she knew I was there, but the shock is still so clear in my memory, 10 years on.
Your little dog will have been warm and comfortable curled up next to the human she loved best and just didn’t wake up. Dreadful for you, but what a peaceful way to go.
I often thought that with various dogs and watched them as they slept, as they got old or were in pain that it would be kindest if they just didn’t wake up. Kindest to them, but oh poor poor you.
The abusive text is something you absolutely didn’t need either and without being nosey, might the tummy pain be connected with stress?
Your house will feel very empty and there is no consolation except that your little dog’s passing brought her no pain or suffering. ?[ flowers]
