I have to say that I cried like a baby the entire time I read this. I had a pit in my stomach. Because the only thing dogs are ever guilty of is living shorter lives than humans. We have a White GSD and a faux Black Labbe (named Hannah Banana). I used to have two yellow labs and an English Bulldog. I pray for you both and I am sending chuck-it balls and chicken nuggets to Hannah via doggy karma. Dogs are so special and each and every one of them has a special soul that can never be replaced, just as humans can never be replaced. Dog Bless you both and thank you for sharing this story. No matter what, it reminds me never to take a day for granted with our furry family members!

Thanks Kristin. Hannah seems to be doing fine, but the prayers and hugs from you mean a lot.
