Farewell Senna.

On Saturday 20th July 2013 my beloved dog Senna died. She was about 16 years old so I knew it was coming. She was slowly getting slower and slower on her feet and was blind and very much deaf. The day she past though things happened sooo quickly. She appeared normal when I fed her. (unless of course Jimmy ate her food without me noticing) Later that evening I heard her barking outside, it was a very cold night and I assumed she was having trouble getting in the doggy door as she had been having trouble with steps and there was a small one. I stuck my head out the doggy door and she was less than a metre away from me. I called to her and she didn't acknowledge me. I yelled and even threw a small handful of dry food at her and she only briefly flinched. I realised at this time things were not right. I went outside and took hold of her collar to lead her to the doggy door and she just collapsed. My parents were here at the time thankfully and my father picked her up, wrapped in a blanket and we went to the animal hospital. They examined her for a while and we all mutually decided that the humane thing would be to have her euthanized. She couldn't even stand up. It was done quickly and peacefully.

I am going to miss that little girl. She was also the last thing that I had linking me to my first love who bought her for me. :-(
