She definately had a great life. For the last 5 years she was like a grandma dog. She survived a coyote attack, stung by a wasp in the throat, and numerous bumps and bodychecks from our bigger dog.
I miss her, but I'm happy she passed so peacefully. When I was 13, our Shepherd had to be put down. My parents got him when I was about 2 and I grew up with that dog. That was so incredibly painful that I have been unable to properly mourn my dogs since then. I feel like I can't allow myself to become attached to them like I used to.
