My wife and I were up almost all night last night, Not long after we went to bed, our oldest dog, a poodle terrier mix who is at least 12 started acting strangely. She was panting heavily and pawing at us in the bed, obviously in distress.

We both got up and tried everything to comfort her as the hours went by. She wouldn't take a dog biscuit (this is rare) and the panting got worse. I hugged her and cried. I though she wouldn't make it until morning, and there is no emergency veterinary care available in our area at that hour. I just tried to make her as comfortable as I could.

Finally, we had to go back to bed and I picked her up to carry her there. As I walked through the kitchen, I realized what was wrong. Her water bowl was empty. True story. I felt like an idiot. She was fine as soon as she got some water.
