I'm so sorry for your loss
 I know this won't make it any easier but it sounds like she went peacefully and without any pain or suffering. Still very, very, sad!

Thank you for the kind thoughts and prayers.
I bought Arwen when she was just under six weeks old, days after I bought my first home. The male I had, Frodo, was a hard dog, and dominant. Arwen was soft and I had to learn how to train a soft girl. She taught me so much. At about a year I took her to classes and the trainer was absolutely awesome, took us from leash pullers with no manners to ready for the obedience ring in eight weeks. Arwen was at the top of her class. I could walk her all over town off lead at a perfect heel. She knew what I wanted and did it before I ever jestured or asked. At eighteen months, she squeezed out of my kennel on Christmas day. I spend hours out there in -10 degree weather looking for her and calling for her. For days I drove with my windows open in the bitter cold following every lead. 19 days later I got a call from over forty miles away in the next county. I went up there and we found each other. She slept with her head on my leg all the way home, she was so happy and relieved to have found me. I had been physically ill the whole time she was missing. When she was four she gave me a litter of puppies, and another when she was five. I took her to more training classes. We went into the Rally ring and she placed every time save my first time in when I missed a sign and nqd. After a second place, my brother was with me, they had given us some Dads free samples. On the way home, I drove to our local shelter and told Arwen I wanted Blue Ribbons, or APL. She took me to the obedience ring and took first place in all three legs. Supervised separation was always my arch nemesis, but I never took Arwen to classes for CGC because I knew she could pass. I finally had her tested at our club's specialty. I put her on a down stay and handed her leash to a guy and went and hid for three minutes. She never moved. I took her with me everywhere. She was my only dog for a little while after I put Frodo down and before my brother's dog came to live with us. She was awesome with puppies, with people that came over. When we had the hemangiosarcoma scare, I took her for an ultra sound. The doctor took her leash and I went out to sit with my Dad, Arwen trotting along at my side. The doctor had turned to take her to the procedure room. But she was still going with me. I just pointed and said, "go with him." And she just turned and trotted along with him. I talked to Arwen like a person, and she always understood what I wanted. We all said she was half-human. I have always been so very proud of her. She was just the best dog ever. I was so lucky to get her back and to have her as long as I did. I am going to miss her.
