Thanks, Mellie. I will post pictures as soon as I figure out how to do it here on this website. I wish I had been here sooner because I had no one to talk to about the loss, and no one to compare notes with. I am just stunned at the similar stories. I really had no idea. I thought my dog was "above" all that. We thought we'd have her until she was 15! She had just been to the vet in February for testing - she was put on DES for the incontinence problem, and tested for thyroid. Her thyroid was barely functioning. She was put through blood tests, but none of this other problem turned up. She was getting pretty bloated, but I just thought she needed to cut back on the treats. She never did convulse or have any seizures. - she did stumble sometimes when we walked but I just thought that was old age.
I think Springers are the best dogs in the whole world! The one I saw on the rescue page was Miranda from Colorado Springs. She is sooo cute! But then, they all are!! Even if we don't get her, there are always so many available. I, too, spend alot of time on the rescue website. I love the adoption stories and the happy ending stories.
Thanks again for your kind words. Nice getting to chat with you.
