So sorry for your loss, YP. What a beautiful girl! Great name too. 17 years is a good run. I can tell she was an amazing companion and I'm sure there's huge emptiness you are feeling right now. Take some comfort in knowing she's out of pain and had an amazing life with her humans.
Mine will be 14 next year and I think about the inevitable all the time. Needless to say...they never lack for loving and care. And they deserve it - and more.
Hang in there buddy.....and sorry again.
