I'm really sorry. We just went through this again last month. We had decided that our 13 year old male bearded collie could no longer handle his cancer and I was taking him to the vet to say good-bye. Earl, with his typical nobility, got in and out of the car, walked into the vet's examining room, and simply collapsed and died.
We've bred beardies since the late 60's and now adopt bearded collies that people no longer want. Earl was found wondering the streets of Tucson over seven years ago. We've had a lot die. It doesn't get easier. With experience, we know that the pain goes away slowly and the memories remain. I still miss him every morning.
