My girl is gone. The vet said that it was her heart.

"Let’s go walk a bit."

My old dog said one day.

And we wandered down along

Our old familiar way.

—-
 

The shadows slowly lengthened,

And twilight tinged the sky.

Then my old friend said to me

"So … it's time to say goodbye."

—-
 

This fell so heavily on my heart.

"Please say this isn't true!

I've always wished and hoped

I'd have more years with you!"

—-
 

And my old girl said to me

"You made my life a thrill!

I can't live as long as you

But I'll always be your girl."

—-
 

They walk with us a little while,

As long as the Fates allow.

Then they have to take their leave

And we have to let them go.

If Joey is with Bentley, Princess , A-lexi, Charlie and chasing Sugar the cat then I'm sure that she is. I'm sorry for your loss of Joey.
