Make that three.
Pearl has been suffering cardiac arrhythmia events. She lies down and loses consciousness, because her heart beats irregularly. She is down and out for about a minute, breathing hard, and then takes five or ten minutes to recover.
This is a well-known thing in dogs, and she may survive because she has been given a new round of medications, but she has lost it at least once every day for the last four days.
It is her last innings for sure, and it is terrible. I mourn her every time, even though I know it will not make the final mourning any less painful.
This is the girl who has stayed with me as the others have left.
