I'm sorry to have to tell you all that Josie died suddenly last night. We understand she must have eaten something sharp in the last few days. A stone or similar. It tore a gash in her stomach 9cm long when she passed it, the contents leaked and septic peritonitis set in. I rushed her to the vets yesterday morning and they operated last night. She looked like she was going to pull through. They cleaned her up and were just closing her when she passed away. The septic shock must have been too much for her. All over in 24hrs. The family all went to the vets at about 11.30 last night to say our last goodbyes and we've been in shock/floods of tears since. She was part of our family and it was just too soon for her to go after only 21 months with us. I am proud to have owned and cared for her, taken her on holiday (3 times, as we couldn't bear to leave her in the kennels) and given her a short but happy retirement but most importantly called her my friend. She was the most cared for and loved dog I know.... I will never forget her. Love you Josie-woo. XXXX. p.s. An album of pics I Put together in the short time she was with us - hope it works plus.google.com/photos/117138403039299676485/albums/5892226303668050257?authkey=CPyx7NqrnoSknAEAttachments:

That is so sad. There is one consolation at least and that is that you gave Josie a chance to live a life she so deserved, irrespective of the short time.
My heart goes out to you and your family.
Run free at Rainbow Bridge Josie. xxxx
