A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}

We lost Murphy a week ago today. This time last week, she was still alive. I went home around noon time to check on her and she was really panting and having trouble breathing. The last time I saw her on our dog room camera was a little after 1:30pm. She got up and got a drink of water and then laid down out of site of the camera. When Donna got home at 4:30, she was gone.

I am really having a hard time with her death. Donna and I don't have any children and she was like a daughter to me. I know time will make things easier but right now I am really having a hard time.

I haven't been on here for a little while and just now saw this and I am so very sorry. We all just love our Furry Kids so very much!

Our Macy is 15 and is really showing her age, your talking about Murphy being more like a Daughter really hit home for me. Growing up we always had Doxies but they were always "Family" Pets. Macy is the first Pup that was really mine. I was 42 when we rescued her at 16 months so we are the only loving home that she's ever known. For the past 6 months or so she's been glued to my side, day or night (I'm retired and am home most days all day). This is a real change as she was more of a Mommy's girl but I will treasure each and every minute that we get to spend together. You mentioned how the other Pups were acting since losing their Sister. This is my fear also as our Papillon Sandi has only knew life with her Big Sister and does not like to be separated for any reason.

We will be keeping You, Your Wife and Pups in our prayers.
