I'm sorry John. I lost my beloved Minnie to a seizure caused by failing kidneys, and those first few days were just the worst nightmare imaginable for me since I love Minnie so much. I couldn't sleep a wink for almost two days after I buried her. I just want let you know you're not alone in being completely devastated losing someone who means so much to you, and I think most of us on this forum have felt the same when it happened. For me the first thing that dropped my stress level to something manageable was reading Beachdog's blog about Paris the Blind Wonder Dog and seeing that there were other people with the same kind of extremely close bond I had with Minnie.
RIP Dear Elvis
