Six (6) hours after making a post regarding dog lymphoma and pet euthanasia, our family dog passed away. It's just a sad clout of aura onto our family as we loved him so much.
Just to make things clear, all of us favored not meddling with how Doggie wants to survive. It's his life cycle and if he can, then we'll still pet him and talk to him like what we've always done for the 12 years he has been with us.
It was when our house-help came up to update us that she'll be feeding Doggie and when she came down, Doggie was no more. I hurried down to check him fade. His body was still warm and I know it was just a recent happening and he could probably still see a little and hear a bit though its a fading sensation. Family gathered around. We all shed tears for him. That's how much we loved him. *sigh*
Anyway, our vet won't be able to come til the next day so we just had one of our clean blankets wrap doggie up, though we didn't cover his whole face - just enough so we could see him whenever we want to. I've read online how the body should be cleaned as soon as this happens and it's lucky enough that he still opted for a bath early that day.
The Family Guard with matching necktie and goggles!
Definitely the smartest dog I know 
He may not do tricks like most show dogs do but he knows where not to dirty up and responds very well to what you're saying.
A jealous type too. I laugh at the sight of him growling at Bianca whenever she comes over though the remaining few days, he let her pat and easily be around him.
The vet, by the way, mentioned it might have been his heart that broke down. A tired and weary body which weakened the heart badly. It is inevitable considering how he evaded meals more as days passed.
Today though, our dog's remains were cremated and have now come back home like we wanted. We plan on renovating the house and we'll definitely have his ashes sprinkled among the new and better gardens that we've planned for our home. Also, my older brother who's fond of tattoos, is bound to get some of the ash, mix it with ink, and embed it into his body as part of his collection. From there I guess part of Doggie always goes with him.
This morning I passed by our garden where I normally see him lay and roll around to scratch his back with the thick grass. Kind of reminiscant.
I'll definitely be missing our dog. I'd like to believe that he's gone to Doggie heaven and evolve in his next incarnation given the chances and light of afterlife and karma.
Now On to Doggie Heaven!
Through it all, we're very thankful that Doggie became part of our lifetime and made us very happy with his presence.
I felt really sad upon reading this post. :( I hope there really is a doggie heaven, because these creatures are so loyal, wise and brave. (I think around four dogs back, she also stopped eating and she became so very thin and died. Now I know why.)
@Bea, yeah it’s really a sad event. there are still times when i go home and normally think ‘ah ill bring this home to Doggie’ then stop and make a frowny face. lol. but reality bites and we have to face and get over things like this. memories were great and life became more wonderful coz of em
