I am so sorry...
...it's been a tough month for my friends with Dogs, and it's almost always the big C that got them. I'm glad you are spoiling her-- that's what we did with my buddie's dog that always mountain-biked with us-- spoiled him rotten. When he passed we rode him to the top of a mountain and interred his ashes in a cairn off the trail a ways. It's nice to know he's up there. We spent a lot of time in the woods together.
Take care,
C-
