AT 12:27 AM Goldenways Dances With the Stars aka Dani died.

Much tears here. The Princess is devastated, and all I can do is

. This was 'her' dog.
Vet called at 10 to warn me that things had taken a turn for the worse. Heart rate and BP were good, hematocrit was good, but she was fading. She died on a blanket beside him - not in a cage. He spent the night with her so she was not alone. To quote the Princess, "He's just a good man."
Why did she die ? He is baffled. About 3 weeks ago we thought that she was going to die one night - lethargic, no appetite, shallow breathing - that all caused the visit to the vet where the tumor was discovered. In 24 hours she appeared normal.

Perhaps she was having mini strokes and then just had a major embolism. Whatever for the first time in nearly 55 years we no longer have a dog in the house.
