kept eating her food. then we tried giving her canned food. then the last day she was just laying there and I knew something was terribly wrong. Took her to the vet and she had a mass in her stomach. THey said it was not going to be long. I opted to put her down as she was in pain. They couldn't even find a vein. They said her organs were shutting down. It was terrible. She is buried out next to our dog Jimmy who we buried about 3 years ago. he was 12 year old german shephard. but at least I was with them at the end. Letting them know we loved them.
