Maxie died last night

[daisybee]

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.

I'm so sorry to hear of Maxie's passing. It's so hard to loose a dear pet. she sounds like she had a wonderful life with you, and whatever happened, must have happened quickly. I understand your being upset that you weren't with her, but I'm sure it didn't diminish her love for you. I think sometimes animals prefer to go off on their own when it's time. Maxie's at the Rainbow Bridge now, healthy and playing with all the other RB pups there. She'll be looking in on you.
I will be thinking of you & your family. Rest peacefully, sweet Maxie.

I'm so sorry for the sudden loss of Maxie.

It's hard in the first place to loose a pet, but being so unexpected just makes it that much harder.

Please know that she's resting easy now and is waiting at the bridge to see you again.

RIP Maxie, you will be missed.

I'm so sorry about, Maxie.

Don't feel bad for her passing on her own - many animals prefer it that way, so as to not upset their people.

She resting easy and is once again the puppy she was at RAINBOW BRIDGE.
