Just as I really knew when it happened, she was to hurt and to old to save.  My heart hurts!  I am glad she could go easy and not suffer for weeks.  She was about 11 years old.  We had her since she was a tiny puppy.   Her name was Beca, why?  I have no idea. :)   She was a guardian dog, and did her job well.  She wasn't a play with the kids type dog, just layed around and barked at buzzards if they dared enter her air space.  She was just a fixture around here!
