Thanks to everyone for there concerns and wishes for a recovery. It was just not to be.
Widgeon passed over the rainbow bridge at 10 AM today and is now in a better, more peaceful place. She was comfortable and alert at the vets and I was with her all the time until the end.
It's been a difficult couple of days and she was anxious and fearful a good part of the time not knowing why she couldn't do all those things she always enjoyed. Now that fear an anxiety are over and she is chasing tennis balls thrown from the chuck-it or diving off the dock to get the buoy and all the discomfort and anxiousness are gone.
She will be so sadly missed. It will be an eerily quiet house for us and at 7 PM when she and I would walk, I will still take that walk in tribute to her loyalty and companionship. It just won't be the same w/o her at my side.
