It's with a very heavy and sad heart , extremely shaky hands, and through a river of tears that I am coming to ask for prayer for us. Our beloved red merle Aussie has just unexpectedly died. She was not acting herself this morning when I went out to give both our Aussies breakfast. She seemed terribly sad and wouldn't eat her food. I've been checking on her throughout the day and she has just been lying down seeming down and blue. Ds1 discovered around lunchtime that she had thrown up a small amount of bile and had had a bowel movement which she was lying in. I tried to get her to drink some water, but she wouldn't. I've been checking on her to find the same thing only this last time I checked I discovered her in a pool of blood and dead.

She was only 10 and just had a complete checkup with extensive bloodwork a couple of weeks ago. We lost our oldest Aussie (she was 7 weeks older than the red merle) to cancer last August at the age of 9.

This is a devastating blow to us. Ds1 is hysterical. Ds2 doesn't have a clue yet what has happened. Hubby is on his way home from work. Please keep us in prayer.
