Murphy went to the rainbow bridge sometime this afternoon. She really took a turn for the worse last night. She was panting really hard. I came home today during lunch to check on her. She was panting and trying to catch her breath. She had that blank stare on her face and I knew she wanted to move on.
I called Donna and told her she was in bad shape. Donna got home around 4:30 and Murphy had passed.
I just got done burying her in a special spot in the back yard. Donna said Murphy did this for us so we didn't have that long drive to the vet to put her down.
I am so sad I can hardly stand it but I know we gave her a great life. She lived for almost 17 years and gave us so much joy.
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers.

The day we were able to take her home. I think she was almost 7 weeks old in this picture.

I read a report today about how a dog can love his humans. UCLA offered a report on its study of animal behavior and how dog bonds to humans. It was interesting.

Went to see my eye doctor today about my vision not being clear. After examination ge concluded I needed further surgery to clear the eye. The stuff they used to wrap the implanted lens with as a wrinkle in it and needs to be corrected. Also he said I need laser surgery to remove some tissue from around the lens. He said there is very little risk to this type surgery as the will be a cool laser not a hot laser operation. He was very up beat about the surgery and said I would know anything had been done. He said I could drive to the hospital for the procedure and the drive home afterward.
