Tears roll down my cheeks as a type this...this is hard.

Last night we found Juneaux dead. No explanation, no nothing...she's just gone. I'd had a busy day with company, and hate that I didn't take a few minutes to step outside with them. When my husband came home, he went outside and found her at the foot of my son's slide. The place she enjoyed the most, oh how she loved to run up that slide and come down with him. He was the joy in her life, and she was his.

We checked her for a clue, but nothing. She did have some blood coming out of her mouth, but I'm not sure that points to anything. She looked so peaceful, just laying there like if she taking her usual nap, in her usual spot. Max paced around nervously. I think he's sad.

I never thought I'd face this day this soon. She would've been a year on the 28th. I would always read tragic stories on here, about corgis passing from cancer or just accidents, and I would tell my husband, what would we do if we ever got bad news like that, and he would say don't think about it, she has plenty of healthy years to go. She was as lively as ever the day before. We're simply left guessing what could have happened to her...I'm just..lost.

This leaves Max all alone, so we might start crate training, and keeping him inside--I hope no one poisoned her. No other idea crosses my mind. My husband thinks something bit her...but what? Needless to say we're devastated, I'm devastated, embarrased that I've cried on and off since we found her, and just crushed that she's gone. Its tough. Its gloomy here at home, but a Happy day on Rainbow Bridge...they're lucky to have her.

We love you Juni

Wow, Im sooooo sorry about Juneaux, its so hard to believe. Its even harder not knowing what happened to her, to loose her so suddenly and unexpected. When I saw the post, I was in disbelief. : ( Go ahead and cry, she was part of your family and you have every right to cry. I am praying for you and your family. Once again I am soooo sorry.

Whisper and I have your family and Max in our prayers. We know how hard it is to loose a sibling. Whisper chose to be an only child after we lost Luchese. God Bless you all!

I can't believe she's gone. She was the most beautiful tri I've ever seen. What's great is you have memories and photos of her, of both Max and Juneaux together and with Robby. I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

You have all our sympathies, that is heartbreaking indeed. Don't be embarrassed for crying because you loved your Juneaux and now miss her so terribly, but do remember what a great time she had with you all, however too short it may have been. Please do let us know if you are ever able to find out what happened.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. How devastating. I can't imagine what you must be going through. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Poor puppy! She was just a baby-how horrible. My thoughts and prayers are with you. A sudden loss is a terrible thing to go through. At least take comfort in the fact that she's in a better place in the company of so many other wonderful dogs like her.
