On June 2nd, Breeze woke up in a great mood. We were in bed and we played our morning game where I grab her and roll her around and she growls at me as if she is going to eat me. We shared kisses and big body hugs where I wrap my arms and legs around her and snuggle. We played for about 1/2 hour before I got up. She came downstairs and had a big breakfast, which she gobbled down. I went to read my email and Breeze came and sat beside me. She got up and i heard her stumble. Then she stumbled again. I ran over to her thinking maybe she had a leg cramp or something. She was panting so i laid down beside her to comfort her. She did not seem to be scared or in pain. Then she stretched and took a deep sigh and stopped breathing. I tried to do cpr and mouth to mouth (not easy with a mouth that big!) she opened her eyes one last time, looked at me, gave me one last breath and it was over. It happened so suddenly and quickly.
the vet said she probably had a sudden heart arrythmia.
it's very hard for me to write right now. i'm still so much in shock.
so it wasnt' the osteosarcoma that got her, it was her heart.
