Sadly our fluffy Mishka dog passed away this week - she had recovered from last week's upset tummy but then got worse again on Monday. She was really lethargic and unhappy on Tuesday so we took her to the vet and it turns out she was having a sudden onset diabetic crisis, which we hoped she could recover from, but then the tests showed renal failure so we made the call to let her go on Tuesday afternoon.
Mishie was nearly 14, which is the expected life span of a german spitz, but it's still quite sad, because we didn't think it would happen so soon, given how generally healthy and happy she was. I went and got the kids and we all said goodbye and gave her a cuddle and she died quite calm and happy.
She certainly had a good life with us - treats, cuddles and a whole family to love ... although let's be clear, there was only one true love in that dog's life. Her entire universe revolved around Brad, also known as the sun, the moon AND the stars. Lucky for her it was reciprocated.
That's really sad. You have all had a lot of fun with her.
