Shocked could be the emotion that I felt today when my husband told me that Dottie had passed away last night. I actually still can't believe that she's gone. Dottie was the first pet our family ever had. With my Dad in the military, and us moving around, we never had a dog until we settled here in Utah. Then my parents found her in the newspaper-free-and she's been apart of the family for the last 11 yrs.
Dottie was a good dog. She loved to go on walks, loved getting treats, and loved when people rubbed her. I have memories during my highschool & early college years of taking Dottie on walks through the woods and talking to her about problems (mostly boy stuff-the lack thereof mostly).
I know Dottie was getting older, she wasn't as quick as she used to be, but I'm still in shock that she actually died without any real warning. Jordan doesn't quite get the concept of Dottie being gone, he thinks that she'll come back.
So, Farewell Dottie! We loved You!

I'm so sad, she was a great dog....Think your parents will get another one?
That is so hard - We have gone through it twice with my parent's dogs (well, mine too, as they were ones I had told all my lack-of-boy problems to also), and I don't look forward to doing it when the dog they have now dies, but I really dread it when we lose our own dog. I'm sorry!
