inner clocks. They know when you leave and they know when we return. Another dog I had died. Moxie, a Chihuahua in one morning had a great time retrieving her ball, back and forth. I was on my bed and on my laptop. Behind my house dogs were barking. I heard a horrible dog cry that I thougt was coming from there. I cut the sound and saw Mox girl's eyes vacant. Christ, I gathered her up, laid her on her back and tried to administer dog CPR., to no avail. She was gone. I called my vet and he said it could have been an aneurysm or a masive heart attack. I looked into the internet about sudden deaths in dogs. So many folks had similar stories with no hope to find out what happend.
