Thanks everyone. Yes, she did get to live a long time for a dog. Growing up we had "outdoor" dogs that would only be around for a few years at a time. Oreo was my first, with me all the time, indoor pet. She was deaf, going blind, and couldn't hold her potty for more than 6-8 hours anymore. It was actually a blessing I got to be home with her for 4 weeks. For the month before that I was having to drive home for lunch everyday to let her our 3 days a week (50 minute round trip). What made our final decision was she was having a hard time getting up (for weeks) and walking anymore. I was picking her up right after she would wake up and carry her outside so she didn't have to struggle. My wife is a veterinarian, so it was especially hard on her. To be honest, Oreo probably would have only made it to 12 without her.

That's what she appeared to be, but based on her blood test we had done, she was like 10 different breeds. She was definitely a cutie.

Holy crap! Glad to see you back around! A couple times a year I see a post or two your wife tags you in on facespace but I haven't seen you on here in forever! Did you end up keeping the burb and truck? You mom's 65/66 Mustang??
