18 years and tomorrow she will be gone

She came to us after she was found in a barn chained to a beam. 2 months old, horribly underweight, with bad teeth. 18 years and she had been the best dog. Mom of all the others. Never had a mean moment. Loved my kids and the other dogs. Slept next to me for 15 years until she couldn't get on the bed. She had been mostly blind for a while but still managing. The last week she has taken a serious turn. Kids are understanding but very upset. Other dog she had been bonded to for 15 years won't come near her. I think he knows. Kids have made paw prints of her. Lots of love and hugs for her tonight. They are coming tomorrow to pick her up, and bring her back home for the final time. 18 years of an amazing dog. I WILL .MISS YOU BO. LOVE YOU.
