I had to say goodbye to my darling GSD

I'm so sorry. I've just been through this, same age too, and know the grief you're feeling. It's awful, especially when it comes as a shock. I know she would have had a lovely life with you.
 
Just seen this. As a fellow GSD owner for many years you have my heartfelt sympathy. Have had them go quickly, slowly, expected and dramatically not so - it doesn't matter how it happens, it hurts like hell.
Take care of yourself and remember the good times.
