She was 13 and we got her when I still lived at home--the year I graduated college. I'm so sad and I wasn't there to say goodbye to her. She got sick suddenly over the weekend--kidney failure and possibly tumor. They said surgery was not a good option because of her age and she likely wouldn't make it through. She was a husky/lab mix and she was the sweetest girl. She was my stepdad's best friend and when he died 2 1/2 years ago, you could see that she was just missing him. Now they are together. I can't stop crying that I couldn't be there for her last moments. I loved her so much. RIP Roxy.
