I am totally devastated.  I just can't believe that my sweet Justy is gone!  She was only 6 years old.  Here is what happened.  We got up on the morning of April 25, 2006 and everything seemed to be fine.  We did our usual thing...went outside so all the canine kids could do their "business".  Then we came in and everyone got their breakfast.  I then took my shower and got ready to go to Mass.  I left here at about 7:30 a.m. to go to Mass.  I got back about 8:30 a.m. and I could tell that Justy wasn't feeling too well.  She didn't come running to the door barking.  So, I sat down at my desk and put Justy and Belle on my desk in their little beds and just hoped that Justy would get to feeling better as the day went on.  That didn't happen.  By 9:00 a.m. she was having some sort of major seizure.  I rushed her to the vet here in town.  He kept her and ran some tests and gave her some meds to stop the seizures.  He called here and said that he thought she had "pancreatitis" (I'm sure I didn't spell that right but it has to do with the pancreas.  He thought I should bring her to the ER & Specialty clinic.  So, about 2:00 p.m. I picked her up and to the ER clinic we went.  They kept her overnight there.  They ran tests and did xrays and then called me at about 9:00 p.m.  She was going into renal failure and congestive heart failure.  I told them to keep her as comfortable as possible during the night and that I would pick her up first thing the next morning.  I picked her up and brought her to our regular vet so that he could put her to sleep.  April 26, 2006 was certainly the worst day of my life so far.  I still can't believe she's gone and I miss her so very much!  I still cry because she's gone.  I am sitting here crying now.

I love you so much Little Justy and I miss you terribly.....
