Oh, Kim, I'm SO sorry you lost your dog after having her for so long. At least she was spared the indignity of being "put down" by your father-in-law. And of course she knew you loved her! How could she not? You took care of her for 13 years! Animals seem to have a sense when their time is up, and they're much more accepting of it than humans are. I truly believe you will see her again in the next life; I believe all well-loved pets go to heaven and join us there again. It is the only thing that lets me ever get another pet. May God heal your heart, and take good care of your loved sheltie.
