It is with a heavy heart I have to tell you that my heart son, Mr. Munchkin, crossed the Bridge of a apparent heart attack on Thanksgiving night about 7pm. Dr. Coreen had heard a heart murmur earlier this year but it wasn't "bad" and neither she nor the vet who did his dental in July felt any meds were necessary. He was eating well, had no respiratory problems that we noted, etc.

Luckily (for me) my pet sitter happened to stop by and was there with him when it happened. This way we know he didn't suffer, went quickly and quietly, and what happened. She had never seen an animal die before so it was rather unnerving for her.

I'm so sorry Joni.....I know how much Mr Munchkin meant to you and to your dobergirls. I loved seeing the pics of him snuggled up with Bella and Skitter. He sure was loved :hug:

. Peace to you.

What a sweet picture.

It took a lot to get to that point... I thought George was a girl when I adopted him but noticed about a week later the "plumbing" wasn't girl plumbing... LOL Munchkin would beat the crap out of George when they were all loose together but after about two weeks, he started to loosen up... It was like George knew he had to win Munch over and would follow him everywhere and do everything Munch would do... LOL I adopted two so there would be the "odd man out" that you always have with three and it was Calvin & Emmalin and Munch & George...

Here are a couple of scrapbook pages I did a couple of weeks ago about them... (I don't have the thumbnails with me so here are the links. I'll post tonight when I get home...)

Joni, I am so sorry for the lost of an important and loved family memory. My thoughts are with you.

Dogs don't know about beginnings, and they don't speculate on matters that occurred before their time.
Dogs also don't know-or at least don't accept-the concept of death.
With no concept of beginnings or endings, dogs probably don't know that for people, having a dog as a life companion provides a streak of light between two eternities of darkness
