We were devastated to lose Suze's beloved Beth, at just under six years old, to some form of hepatitis not covered by immunization. It is possible that she picked this up while outside walking from some spoor of wild animal. She lived with us with that diagnosis for almost a year while we kept her as comfortable as any normal dog. She even romped around the house many days. It was very binary; one day she was fine and the next she simply began to die in Suze's arms. We finished her daughter, Emma, a gorgeous girl, but no dog will replace Beth in Suze's life
