News: Chelsea died this morning
To all my friends here,
Chelsea died this morning. She seemed to take a turn for the worse last night, and she woke me up with her labored breathing. I picked her up and tried to express her inside. First, nothing happened, then so much came out. When I laid her back down, she started gasping, and I knew it was time.
I had the chance to say good-bye and to tell her that I loved her.
I just wanted to thank everyone for all of your support and kindness these past several weeks. Because of your support, I had her for three more weeks, and I am at peace with her death. She is the longest companion I have ever had, and I will miss her. But, I know that she is at peace now, too.

I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm glad you were able to use what you learned here to make both of your lives better, though.

Dear Janice,
I'm glad that she could be at home and you were with her, that's a gift. Bless her heart, 15 is awfully good for a dog that size. I'm glad that it worked out for both of you. Continued best wishes to you and your family during this time of loss.

Dear Janice,
You really tried your hardest to find a cure, or help with her failing body. You are to be commended for being such a faithful friend to your dear Chelsea.
I'm so sorry that there wasn't any way to save her. A pet's older age doesn't make the loss any easier. But, they never quite leave us in spirit.
Sending healing thoughts to you and your children.

So sorry for your loss
My condolences to you and your family. I'm glad you had a few extra weeks with her and, if it had to be, that she went peacefully among those she loved and loved her best.

Dear Janice, we are all so sorry for your loss... and so thankful Chelsea had you in her life. What a story of love and devotion yours is. She has inspired you to heights you never imagined possible, she brought out the best in you, and she never ever complained. Why? Because you were her life. Her reason for being, her soul. You were the biggest gift in her life. She loved you so, "twas Heaven here with you"

Yes, Chelsea is now free from any sufferings. She knew how much you loved her and how hard you've tried to help make the last few weeks of her life easier.
You are in my prayers.

I'm very sorry for your loss, Janice. Thomas Moore's "Scent of the Rose" is a poem that I've found comfort in many times, and hope it lends you comfort as well. Again, sorry to hear about Chelsea. I know you'll hold fast to her memory.
"The Scent of the Rose"
"Let Fate do her worst, there are relics of joy;
bright dreams of the past which she cannot destroy
which come in the night-time of sorrow and care
and bring back the features that joy used to wear.
Long, long be my heart with such memories filled!
Like the vase in which roses have once been distilled,
you may break - you may shatter the vase, if you will!
But the scent of the roses will hang round it still."
