Yesterday went off like normal. Just being lazy, me and Aby. She was eating, drinking, sleeping...being a dog.
I took her for her nighttime walk. Everything was normal. She even tried to chase a couple birds.
Then, we walked over and went into the door of our apartment building. We got up the first set of stairs, but when we got to the top of the second set, Aby fell over. Just like that. She started whining and crying, then she stopped breathing. I started screaming so loud and crying for someone to help me. Several of my neighbors ran out to see what was going on. One set of neighbors called the military police to find out what to do. Other neighbors sat by me and Aby on the stairwell. By the time the police showed up, she was gone.
We called a 24-hour vet. They directed us to a veterenarian in Ramstein villiage. He had to go to his workplace in the middle of the night (11pm), and we had to pay 75 Euro, but he took my Aby. I kissed her dear sweet head before he took her away.
This all just feels like the most horrific nightmare that I need to wake up from. When I woke up this morning without her, my heart started to ache. It was a dreamless, not restful sleep. I got maybe 3 hours.
Work today is an impossibility. I just start crying whenever I remember that Aby isn't here anymore.
I thank you all for your prayers and your thoughts.
