Our family dog Tassie, Bri and my original baby, left us last week. She had been dealing with congestive heart failure for a few months and things got progressively worse. We were able to do a lot of medical management, but in the end her heart gave out and we had to euthanize her.
A really difficult part of this for me is that she suffered a 'straw that broke the camel's back' event while Bri and I were maneuvering her in order to get an ECG reading at home. Anything could have done it, but I hate that it was the two people she loved most in the world. I hope she forgives us, and I'm so sorry I didn't share one final beer with her.
Our vet was good enough to come to our house to let her die at home.
My sister put together a nice video memorial. I watched it last night and wound up crying like a baby. You can see it here.

Save some kisses for me Tassie, where ever you are. We love you.
