All Dogs Go To Heaven

Today was a sad day in our world.  One of our real dogs, Girlie Girl,  had not been eating well over the past week and so we decided it was time to go to the vet.  While I was there with her yesterday, they did blood work and an ultrasound of her kidneys.  The vet compared her blood work to some that was done in January and based upon that and the ultrasound findings, it was determined that she was in liver failure most likely secondary to cancer. 

Cancer is a horrible disease for all of God's creatures.  We could have gone down a long path of surgery and possible chemotherapy, but it would have had the same outcome in the end.  With heavy hearts, Grown Dawg and I came to the realization that it was best to have her put down.  She was one of the best dogs that any human could ask to have.  We were blessed to have her as part of our lives for 9 years.

She went to Heaven this morning around 10:00.  She will be cremated and we will spread her ashes at the beach.  We took her there often with us and she loved the time there.

Here are some pictures of our Princess Dog.

Bone time.

Laying in the sun.  One of her favorite things.
