My Mom's old lady Motown was given over into her restful sleep this afternoon.
Motown was around 13 and a mix of Rottie, Akita and Husky. She was adopted thru a rescue way back in 1997/8 at a couple of months old. I moved out to Texas in late 1998 and Motown grew up with my Mom and sisters as primary caretakers. Motown moved with my Mom and sis when they came to Texas to live several years ago. She was the last of the 3 they brought with them...the others were older, and passed away years ago.
She was a very tolerant dog and put up with a lot of nonsense in her time...and loved to play with my sisters pet rats...of all things!
She was having real trouble moving around and whining a lot, more good days than bad as my Mom said...just was time to let her sleep comfortably.
Here's a pic...goodnight ole' lady dog!
