The same vet, or anyone else there, will tell you they have never seen a more loved or cared for dog as Sam in the lives. Yell out if you want her email.
Sam was okay when we went to bed that night. At 4AM I sat bolt upright in bed knowing something was wrong. When I went into his room he had obviously just died seconds before. His tongue and other parts were still warm, as was the urine he was lying in on his couch.
I kissed and cuddled him until rigor mortis set in and delayed burying him until 5 PM that night so Lochie could grieve him and know he was gone.
Two nights later it rained overnight and I am that crazy I was up at 2 AM, in the rain, putting sheets of corrugated iron over his grave (4' 6'' deep!) so he wouldn't get wet.
I have never loved anyone or anything so much in my life.

I know how you feel. I buried my old German Shepherd. It took me a long time to get over that.
