NIGHT NIGHT, EMMA

We had some very sad news today. Lisa called this afternoon to tell us that our sweet dog, Emma, died this morning. Lisa heard her cry out, and went to see what was wrong. She stopped breathing just a few seconds after Lisa got to her side. It's just a guess, but she must have had a heart attack, or an aneurysm, or something else that took her quickly. From first cry to her last breath -- it was a matter of seconds. She has been a very healthy dog, active and energetic. She was SO attached to Mike, her best days were when he came home from work and threw tennis balls for her. It was a real shock. She was just 11 years old. Thank goodness Lisa and Charles were home so she didn't have to die alone. They took good care of her. Charles tucked her safely away in our yard, in the shade of the orange tree she liked to lay under. We'll miss you SO much, Ems. You were such a good dog.
