Even Sadder News

My dog, the beautiful Alma passed away today. She had lost control of her rear legs, so she couldn't stand up. It took two of us to walk her, one on the front, the other holding up her tail. Throughout everything, she was so mentally alert and normal. She spent the day on her pad in front of the window. She couldn't move at all, but she barked at everything that walked by. She let the puppies know who was the dog in charge. They deferred to her. Alma had a wonderful personality--she was very sweet and in her later years, friendly to everybody. I am so sad, I miss her so much. She was such a great dog.
