I think she's in Doggy Heaven too.
My girl is 11. I think she still has a good few years though; she has trouble with stairs, but finds the willpower [easily] whenever I eat dinner upstairs.
I love dogs demanding attention I'm more than happy to give it. I'm sure you were an owner who did much of the same. We don't speak each others language, but the bond for food and 'scratchies' goes beyond words.
For my dear Gaffers who have dogs or are considering; here's an album of
Dogs Before and After Adoption:

Not to derail too much. I'm not a religious person, but I'd love to believe in an afterlife for three reasons:
(1) As stated, a doggy heaven would be fantastic
(2) I'd love a magical spiritual/cosmic buffet to be there, where I can't get fat and eat all the best fucking foods I've ever eaten again (and some from all reaches of space, time, and cosmos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(3) I find thinking the end as simply 'oblivion' and losing all consciousness and self intimidating and... the worst encore ever to the grand performance of an epic life.
