I have had the pleasure of hunting with Betty and she was a truly great dog and one that will be missed. You did the right thing by staying home to be with her, you don't leave family when they are sick.
All of us here feel your pain and heartache, it's a tough pill to swallow to be sure but we do it because we love our companions. Betty will forever hunt the grouse coverts in the U.P. with you.
