Goodbye my sweet girl...
Thank you so much for your well wishes, unfortunately all was not okay. We found out that she had cancer and it was pretty far along, nothing we could have done, it was in the lymph nodes. We said goodbye to our sweet baby girl today...
I am devistated to say the least, she was my best friend, my companion, my shoulder to lean on and my joy everyday. I will miss her more than words can say. My heart hurts more than it ever has, I have lost my little girl.
Xanadu,
I know you are in a better place basking in the warm sun, smelling the sweet breeze and eating as many treats as your little tummy can handle. I know you are playing with every toy you can get your paws on,squeaking away till you little heart's content. I will always be with you and you with me, my heart will always have a place for you, always. I love you sweet girl.
Mommy
















I am so so very sorry about your incredible loss. I know that there are no words that I can say that will even begin to take any of the pain away. Just know that so many of us are sending you loving and healing vibes. Be good to you.

I am late posting a comment but I wanted to say how sorry I am to hear about your pup. I remember the pain vividly.
My two Brits, brother and sister, were diagnosed with cancer, sudden and expected, within 3 weeks of each other. With both, it was advanced and nothing to do.
It was a nightmare and I still can't quite believe how it happened. I wasn't sure I wanted another pup but the sweetest little black dog appeared at my door one day, abandoned by someone that moved, we believe.
She is the best.

I lost my two dogs to cancer three months apart a few months ago. they where my best friends-the pain was unbearable...but somehow they still manage to make me smile. I am so sorry for the heartache.

So very sorry to read about your dog. Our Mika died last year so I can relate to your sorrow.
Peace to you and your sweet girl.

Teagan must have asked God for a dog and so He picked out the very best one for her. I'm so sorry about this tremendous loss...be gentle to yourself as you grieve and miss your beautiful friend.
I know how it hurts. I am so sorry but so glad that you got to love her in your life. All my best to you at this time.
