Princess was a cocker spaniel mix. To me personally, she has been there for me since I was 4.  Everyday when I would come home from school she would always greet me at the gate wanting to play.  She loved to chase squirrels. Mom and Princess always used to play "hockey" (use an empty milk carton and just have her play around on the driveway, hitting it with her nose).  It was too sudden when Princess passed away. She had liver and kidney damage, due to her arthiritis medicine.  Princess had taken it for over a year and had never felt bad or anything, at least up until a couple days ago.  After the last day she took her medicine, she had not moved from where she always lays in the frontroom and had yet to touch her food and water and was not able to lift her head. I could sense right away that something was wrong with her. I did not know what, but I knew something was wrong. That night, I layed down with her and pet her crying myself to sleep knowing what I sensed before. The next morning, she was still in the same spot. She had yet to move and I decided to put her onto the couch. She was dead weight, another giveaway. This brought me to tears.  My mom and I took her to the vet and as soon as the doctor saw her, he knew Princess was living her last day out.  My mom and I decided to wait up until my dad came home so that way, we can all be together with her as she passes.  While we were waiting, she was put into the kennel and once we finally came back, she lifted her head up and was bobbing left and right trying so hard to stay up like she didn't think we were coming back to see her. We had spent a half hour with her after the medicine was injected into her and while she layed there dying, we were all crying and telling her how much we loved her and all the great memories of her. I'll never, ever, ever forget my best girlie girl in the whole world.
