The dog died today

[dorchadas]

Abby--our oldest sheltie. She was three months shy of 17. She'd been having kidney problems, bladder problems, stomach problems, mouth problems, and all kinds of other problems for over a year, so it's a not a surprise. And I'm really not a pet person, so I didn't even really like her...but I still got a bit teary eyed when I got the news.

I guess that's not too surprising. My family's had her since I was nine. It'll be odd to go back home and have there only be one dog in the house.
