My son found our Maxie dead yesterday afternoon. Maxie was 13 and1/2 years old and had been with us since she was 6 weeks old. I have always known when it was time to have my dogs put out of their misery, but maxie wasn't really showing any signs. Sure she had a little trouble getting up and had been losing weight, but she still pawed at her bowl every morning and acted pretty much like the puppy she always was. Yesterday afternoon my daughter and I went Christmas shopping and when we came home Maxie didn't greet us. I didn't think much of it. But when two hours went by I told my son to check on her. He found her dead on the basement floor. I feel so guilty because she died alone. As hard as it is, I have always been with my dogs that have died, I just feel so bad.
