(((AAAAA))
How sad - my condolences. 
We had a beloved German Shepherd in the prime of her life. I was home with my teenage son, and she was sleeping on the floor in front of us. She awoke, tried to get up, and looked at us with a horrified look on her face - she couldn't get up. With encouragement from us she tried a little harder, but started convulsing. After a few minutes, she died in our arms. We felt as though our hearts had been ripped out, and it was equally difficult to call my husband to give him the news.
It turned out the cause was an undetected tumor on her spleen that burst.
The hardest part of owning pets is having to say good-bye.
