Lady, Michael's Siberian Husky of 14 years, dies (Feb 1995-May 2010)

http://adopt-a-husky.adoptapet.com/ This video honors the life of a loyal dog which ran more than 12,000 miles with its owner. In this video, you will see the last few minutes of Lady's life and her burial site along the Pacific Crest Trail in Hesperia, California. She died of gastric torsion, or bloat, a twisting of the stomach so severe that it cut off blood to the stomach and the spleen. Symptoms came on suddenly, and, within about 45 minutes, she was dead. Her twin sister, Lucky, died of the same disorder two years ago. Due to Lady's old age, we decided to forgo emergency surgery to extend her life. Her death represents the end of an era, the end of an unbreakable bond between Michael and his two Siberian Huskies. Up until about 12 years old, these two Huskies ran with Michael everywhere. Their legend lives on in immortality.

Thank you!

I am so sorry about your loss.

I am doing better now. And, I have nothing but good memories of Lady and also Lucky, who passed two years before Lady.

Doing what they loved to do, Lady and Lucky logged in more than 12,000 miles of running with me over their life time. One time ocassion we ran to the the top of Mount San Gornonio in Southern California, an altitude of 11,500 feet. Another time we ran a 10 mile run through a blizzard near Mountain High Ski Resort.

Very sad but I still have a lot of happy memories.

She sure was a great dog. I ran 12,000-miles with her.

I love how the last thing you do with your dog is shove a camera in her dying face, so you can revisit her last moments of what looks like a very painful condition. So kind.

Your sarcastic tone is evident in your comment. I am sorry you feel the way you do.

Its not wrong to post a video like this, you will understand this when your best friend died...

I think you guys on here that are saying stupid coments need to grow up. This guy loved his dogs very much. I wouldn't have shown the last minutes thing but that doesn't give me or you the right to judge this man and his love for his dogs. So now after all that I feel your pain and im sorry for your loss.

@mbuckhoff1965 Me too. My 13 year old died this morning no less than 14 hours ago. There is nothing more painful than saying temporary goodbyes to unconditional love.

We will see our best friends again in time.

How are you coping with it after a year?

i feel sooooo sorry for you :( you must have loved your dogs very much ... i'm also 15 but i don't think it's wrong ... you know what's wrong ? people who mistreat their dogs and when they die just throw them in a river or something like that... i hope you'll get again such nice dogs ... i'm going to get myself also a siberian husky and i hope it will be loyal as yours ... R.I.P. lady
