Our beloved Kipper died on Sunday, December 6, 2009. It happened sooo fast. She woke up late that day and went down stairs to get a drink. Instead of coming back up stairs for breakfast, she stayed at the bottom of the stairs. I called the vet and took her in. I thought that maybe she had a tummy flu because she didn't eat. It came as a complete shock to find out that she had an enlarged heart and was facing kidney failure. Within 5 hours she was gone. I was able to stay with her for the last hour. I layed on floor with her at the vet's office and talked to her and kissed her little head. She was on oxygen but she followed me with her eyes. I went home and within 15 minutes they called me. While on the phone she went into cardiac arrest. We hopped back into the car and started for the vet's office. I live less than 5 minutes away. They called while I was driving down my street to tell me she was gone. It was so sad to go back and say goodbye. It's hard to come home and not be greeted at the door with a bark and a wag of the tail.

She loved to go camping!!! When she saw that we brought the camper home she got excited. She knew that we were going on a trip! We have never gone camping without her. It will not be the same next year when we camp.

I miss you sooo much Kippy!! I have cried a river because I miss you soooo much! I hope you know how much you were loved and will be missed by us forever!!!!
