Hello Cathe-
I, too, wanted to express how sorry I am about Dakota. It's so hard to lose our four-legged family members especially when it's very sudden. We had to deal with the untimely death of one of our cats who was only four years old- he was a sweet, cuddly, loving and good-natured sweetie- and according to the vet *threw a blood clot*. There was no way to know that he had this and oh, I how remember the hurt. So my heart goes out to you and your family during this time. One last thing- I read a true story by a vet about a family losing their dog and the parents were talking about how much they missed him and wished dogs lived longer. Their little boy (about 4) said *You know why he left so soon? We are here on earth to learn how to have a good life- like loving everybody and being nice. Well, animals already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long*... Dakota will always be with you and your family watching over you. Take good care, Cathe...
