His body stayed on the rug for a few minutes before being moved and during that time, he emptied his bladder, which I cleaned up as best I could after. Well, after that the cat walked in. She never really liked the dog (he loved her) and happily walked around the room (we're all crying). She went over to the spot that had been peed on and rolled and rubbed all over it. I never understood why, but I think she new he was gone and was somehow either marking her scent over the pee, or expressing joy that he was gone. She died of old age 6 months later and I envision her getting to heaven and the golden retriever running happily to greet her while she saw him and said "oh crap, they've sent me to hell"....

LOL - cute story!
