In any case, sorry for your loss and here is to hoping it is only temporary.
Sorry I was ambiguous. I meant she died from heatstroke. I had taken her to the vet for a consultation as she'd developed a tumor which needed to be removed. Vet said she was in good shape apart from that so she would proceed with the surgery. I booked her in for the 30th. However it was 113 degrees on the ten minute drive home and my truck has no a/c. I thought having the windows down with air blowing thru would be ok, she was ok on the trip over there and had been fine in previous car trips. But heat was too much this time and she overheated had a stroke/siezure/heart attack,whatever it was just before we pulled into my garage. She died about an hour later. When I think back on it I realize how stupid I was taking her when I did. I should have waited till next week when I could have used my wifes car and she would have been fine. So it's my fault and it just sucks.

- Peter.
