Lost our Lady

Early morning Saturday, March 18, Lady passed away.
Bernie and Bridgette took her to five points vet.
Friday morning Charles noticed Lady had trouble standing and
she just fell over...but then did get up again.
When i popped in at 11 for lunch she met me on the porch and seemed fine
just what i thought was her normal arthritic struggle to stand up...
By the time Kelly got home from school Lady was not standing...not doing anything.
Everyone was very upset.
Her trip to the vet (at 8:30...they couldn't see her any earlier) where the vet said she had severe anemia and her liver looked very bad,
but the vet loaded her up with a vitamin shot and pills and she came home to Industry where
Bernie and Charlie carried her in and laid her on the kitchen floor on her black and red blanket.

She just laid there.

Bernie pet her and said goodnight to her about 1:30 and told Chuck to check on her before he went to sleep.

Chuck came up to our bedroom and said .....Look of extreme sadness....me: "I know Charlie, it's very sad." Chuck: "No, it's....." I said, "Is she dead?" chuck: Yes.

We are very sad.
