One morning, she simply didn't want to leave the house. She hung her head and half crouched instead of doing her happy dog dance at the door. I let her stay home and the performance was repeated the next day, and then the next. <br /><br />A trip to the vet found nothing wrong. For whatever reason, Dinah had retired. Less than a year later, my own illness forced me to follow her.<br />[End quote]<br /><br />That made me think that perhaps Dinah picked up on your PD symptoms before the humans did, and appointed herself chair troll for that reason?Helenhttp://castironbalcony.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-34173063412627069462014-05-01T12:53:18.680-06:002014-05-01T12:53:18.680-06:00Thank you for sharing her story with us.

To say "...I'm really at a loss for words. To say "Sorry for your loss" feels like a worn out cliche' to me. However, I am sorry that your companion is gone. Wyndermere was right, it was a wonderful tribute you wrote, and I for one appreciate that you shared it with us. I also remember and love the squirrel story.<br /><br />I have always said that if I was ever going to own a small dog, I would chose a corgi, there is just something about them...<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617546413512282387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-77040338237654674202014-05-01T10:28:26.924-06:002014-05-01T10:28:26.924-06:00Bassgirl- That made my day.

We always love the troubled child that we have to work hard with, but the ones that just git 'er dun on their own terms are the ones that we always remember for their greatness and dependability. <br /><br />You gave Dinah the best life she could possibly have and I'm sure she left knowing that she was loved and that she had a place in the world, which is all a dog ever really wants. <br /><br />My deepest sympathies for your loss. <br /><br />-HeatherHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892175707655378999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-30062278305863744872014-05-01T10:15:44.124-06:002014-05-01T10:15:44.124-06:00When we loose them, they take a piece of our heart...When we loose them, they take a piece of our hearts with them.<br />We will be reunited with them..in the life to come.

It is so rare to have a dog like that and when you get one, you have won the lottery. <br /><br />My Jack was just like the Dinah you wrote about - horse show loving, varmint hunting master, never trained but perfect in every way. Lost him last year. The hole left by that loss is bigger than I ever imagined it would be. <br /><br />Knowing you had a dog like that makes me very happy for you; the pain of losing such a treasure, an animal that some how resembles us in some way, that pain is priceless. No one should ever lose a dog like that, they should live forever. But having had one is a gift and I know with my Jack, the pain is the reminder that what we had was completely undeserved.
