she never hit the water button just the ice!! But if you didn't chase her away she would empty it in a heart beat!!! I can't believe how shiny her coat was for some reason I forgot, I was looking thru and decided to post as she was My husband and I's first dog/child together, I just wish she would have lived past 2, I can see how much "trouble" my son and her would have been!

We don't know, We talked with the breeder and turns out after our girl died, they had a sister and mom die unexpectedly too. They said they believe it was a heart condition. We didn't pay for an autopsy b/c although it would have been nice to know it wouldn't have brought her back. They were planning another littler with a sister of her, but when the dogs passed they stopped breeding, thinking it was genitic. We actually had been visiting family in MO, and she was home with a marine my husband worked with that was house/dog sitting for us, we were in TN stopped over night when we got the call early in the am that she was fine when she went to bed, he went to let her outta her crate and she was dead. The poor guy went with us to have her cremated, he felt horrible, he actually shed a few tears too (I don't think he wanted us to notice) He really felt terrible even though there was nothing that he did or really could have done, she was sleeping in the room with him just in her crate so I think she must have passed peacefully or he would have heard her in distress??? She is the one that I said I would clone her if money was no issue and it was possible!! Thanks for all your thoughts she's been heavily on my mind recently!

seems so many of our fur babies go this way, which is good in a way -- peaceful. I lost Nitschke in a similar manner, he was fine the day before, woke up vomited and regardless of what/why, it felt wrong to me so I made a vet appointment as soon as they opened that day.... we lost him that afternoon, his heart gave out. it is close to two years and there is not a day that passes that he is ot a thought in my mind or a n ache in my heart.

Whenever you need to share or talk about her, just post the picture and we are here
