My dog Brittany died ... Yes, she was old, 13, sick with diabetes, and blind- but, she was so very loved and enjoyed. Since she became sick with diabetes two years ago it had been a slow and steady decline- but, even though she couldnt see me, she was happy to hear my key in the door, and would howl in happiness to have me home. She played, and snuggled with the cats- the cats grooming her eyes, somehow as if they knew that they were not what they should be. Where before she came sick, she had just tolerated them, she seemed to in time take some comfort from them. They miss her and have searched every room looking for her... I have lost a dear and beautiful friend.
