Our dog Jenny died today. She was 14 years old.Christopher called this morning about 11:45a to say she had collapsed on the floor and wouldn't move. I came home after lunch and Carol and I sat with her on the floor while Christopher left to return to college.
After it appeared she was not either getting better or worse, we called the vet and took her in. But then her temperature continued to be low and her breathing continued to grow worse.
While we were in the examination room, after having x-rays and blood tests, she passed away in my lap with Carol next to me.
We brought her home and buried her across the creek in our woods. Amanda had painted a colorful stone several years earlier and we relocated it to become Jenny's grave marker.
Jenny was a loved member of the family. We will miss her very much.
