Gracie

Hi All,

Tonight, after 14 wonderful years together, my Grace departed this world while she was sleeping. We heard a strage hawling and when I ran upstairs she was already gone.
Although she had Arthritis, she kept going pretty well until she stopped.

I am very glad that I had the opportunity to walk with her and my son today at 6 pm. She seemed very happy and enjoyed the walk....

I know I will miss her greatly. Not sure how to tell my 3.5 years old son, where is Gracie, in the morning.

Here are some photos of Grace.

You must be proud to have a rottie for 14 wonderful years. Also she passed away while sleeping without suffering much.

I feel sorry for your loss.

What a beautiful old soul Gracie was with her grey muzzle.

I pray you find the word to explain this to your young boy. (Who is darling, BTW.)

Thank you all for your king and thoughtful words.

Her well advanced age is certainly the part that ease the pain somewhat. I was always afraid of the day I will have to put her to sleep.. I guess she knew it and saved me a greater pain.

It was a weired experience but just before she passed away, she woke up, gave a very long howling and left. It was something I've never heard before.

My sympathies on your loss.
14 is a wonderful age for a Rottie - it speaks volumns about how well cared for she was. She looked great up till the end, and she went the way I wish all of them could (in their sleep at a ripe old age).
Good luck with your son... :(
