Trink

My sister, Marylin, was went out to her barn Thursday to feed her goats,horse,donkey etc.. and the little dog, Trink, followed her out their like he always does. Marylin got busy and noticed he was missing and she looked and looked for him and couldn't find him. He was never one to wander off. He always stayed close by. Mike cancelled his afternoon session of patients and went home to try and find him, but they never found him. He was about 15 years old,senile,deaf and had bad vision. His breed is a Pappian (not sure of the spelling) which is a real small dog. Marylin thinks a hawk may have gotten him. But she didn't hear anything. The only thing I can think of is he may have crawled off to die. Dogs do that you know. It still breaks my heart thinking about it. Mike and Marylin are just devistated. Life goes on, as it should. I love doggies. You all better be ready for a bunch of tears when its time for Lucy and Brittany to go. I already told Larry I wants a puppy when they are in their old age.

Yep, dogs usually crawl off to die. Tipsy, Aaron's parents dog before the one they have now, asked to be let out in the middle of the night. This was unusual for her. Dewayne found Tipsy under the lilac bush, so that is where they buried her.

I do hope Mike and Marylin find their dog though, because it would put more closure on it.

That's what happened to our dog Sheila. She wanted to be let out late at night and they ended up finding her in the lake. It was sad. We still don't know if she had a seizure or just died of old age. I hope they find it.
