We lost our little Lady last night

About 3 1/2 years ago we adopted a 2 year old rescue dog named Lady.  She was a chihuahua, Chow Chow, Poodle mix (we did dna testing about a year ago).  She came to us through a local rescue place in Puyallup, they had flown her and several other dogs up from California.


Saturday, sometime after midnight, she got into the kitchen garbage. We have baby locks on the cabinet door but she somehow got passed the baby lock.  DH woke up at 5am and there was garbage everywhere.  DH cleaned everything up and around 7am she vomited.  Then about 10am again she vomited again, we thought she had probably gotten every thing out of her system.  She was walking fine and was able to go up and down stairs and outside. Around 8:30pm last night she didn’t look right. DH and I took her right away to the emergency vet but she had passed away in the car on the way there.  I had sat with her in the backseat, talking with her and holding her.  

She was, without a doubt, the most loving dog I have ever seen.  And she loved to play more than anything - hide and seek, chase in the backyard, tossing a stuffed animal around — she just loved all of that. If we put our shoes on, she would get so excited that it might mean she would be going for a walk. One of her favorite places was HER backyard on a warm summer day. She would sit out there in the sun and just be so happy with the breeze blowing through her fur.
