In reply to the discussion: My dog has died. [View all]SlimJimmy
(3,251 posts)80. My condolences. We lost our dog on the 18th. She had extensive cancer and the doc said she'd
live about two more weeks. It was two weeks to the day when she passed. Even though she was 15 years old, it was like losing a family member; a lot of tears were shed. The good news is that she died in her sleep at home in her bed. A gentle passing for a truly gentle dog.
