A week since Vintra left us and it's still very hard to understand.
Everything went shockingly fast and she was gone in just over an hour from the first symptoms.
What we could see afterwards was a very ugly spleen that most likely ruptured.
Despite the shock, I am grateful that I was home and got to be with her until the end.

I am grateful that she was allowed to be strong and alert until the end. I often wondered when she would get "old". 11 was just a number. She was never retired from either exercise or long walks. The day before she was playing with my nieces and we were all wondering which of all the dogs was really the oldest. Two hours before she passed away, we were out on a 5 km long walk in the forest and she was as energetic as usual.

No words can ever describe what she meant to me. So much fun we had together. So many amazing people that I have in my life today because of her. Not to mention her puppies. In them I see her every day!

Vintra - It has been a blessing to have you in my life and I will always love you
