My belgian Malinois Tilly dropped dead this morning while playing with her little brother. She was only a year and a half old. She was very fit and had the "heart of an athlete" according to her vet. She was a beautiful girl who I loved as much as humanly possible. I retired before I adopted her and raised her completely. She was crazy smart and incredibly loving...did I mention she was beautiful to boot.
This has left me completely shattered emotionally. We did everything together. She slept by my side protecting form the evil cats. She was the most amazing big sister to Boomer who is now 11 months old.
It just isn't supposed to happen this way. I saw it all from the front window, her and Boomer were just running around playing chase...like always. Then she just stumbled and slid to a stop on her side underneath a pine tree. I ran outside, and tried to give CPR and nose to mouth breaths. But to no avail. I am totally heartbroken. She is the 3rd dog since January to pass. The other 2 had lived nice long lives....this is just a total shock for me.
