We are all stunned. Our dog Georgie died early this morning. She was fine yesterday, running around the neighborhood, badgering other dogs. She ate her dinner & went outside - no problems. At around 9:00pm, I smelled poop - found a pile next to Georgie. I tried to get her to go out and she just lay there, looking at me. She stood up and fell down. I sat on the floor with her and she seemed fine. I thought maybe she had a stomach funk. I put her on a blanket in the kitchen. A few hours later, when I came to check on her, she was dead.
Georgie was a great girl. 9 years ago, I used to drive past a house every day, on my way home from working at a school in the inner city. For weeks I saw a puppy chained to the porch; sometimes I wouldn't see her for days. One day I knocked on the door and asked the person who answered if I could buy her dog. She said "sure, for $80." I offered $40 and she was mine! Georgie had obviously been neglected and abused but she turned into the biggest love dog! She loved the kids and was loved by them.
Thanks for being our friend, Georgie. We'll always love you.
