My much-loved Siberian Husky died peacefully in her sleep two months ago-she was very old for a big dog at 17, and had slowed down a bit in the last couple of years-but still played with the 3 cats and howled back at coyotes at night. She’d had her usual happy day and settled down to a nap on her bed by my chair after dinner and a walk-when I saw that she was not breathing awhile later, I realized that her 17-year-old heart had finally given out.
I’d had her since she was an 8 week old pup, and wish I could have had her with me for 30 years-I miss her...
She died peacefully after a fun day,with the person she loved.It doesn’t get much better than that.
