Maddie was a mix we got from the shelter on 07/07/07 and she made it to 17.5 years. In the end she had kidney failure, arthritis, hip dysplasia, and cancer. We put her out of her misery yesterday in the most humane and comfortable way possible, in her own bed, with mom holding her. Even with the best life and best case scenario for a dog, it's still so soo hard and we miss her dearly. She has been a constant in my life as my childhood dog and i will always love her.
