The cancer came back on the side of her head.
She already had an operation for cancer on her tummy this Spring.
Poor Dog!
Everything appeared to be O.K. at the time but the vet said the cancer could be aggressive and it was.
It's not really operable, especially since she has an enlarged heart and a heart murmer.
We put her through BP medication to stabilize her breathing, but the cancer came suddenly and quickly.
She had a hard early life, growing up in a puppy mill in Texas.
My daughter was visiting relatives and decided to get a dog and picked her up there and brought her back with her to Michigan.
She had heartworm - which was successfully treated two year ago,
She stole out hearts and we got a chance to spoil her to make up for her early years.
She has been a constant companion for my wife, and she brightened everyone's day - unless you are a bad guy, cat, or squirrel in the neighbourhood! :)

Amazing how much difference a little dog can make to a family.. now I have 2 weeks of vacation to stew about it..
ReplyDeleteGuess I’ll take it out on the weeds..
Not to be too sentimental, but I actually had a dream last night that she was happy again…
She made our lives happier when she was here.
Her ashes are back now. My wife put them up with her Dad's 'flag' - he was a WW2 vet and died a couple of year ago.
ReplyDeleteSo we have a little shrine, like the Lares and Penates that the Romans had in their houses..
has it really been 4 years? I still miss Bella.
ReplyDeleteWe have a good chihuahua named Marley to keep us company now, but I'm working down state and don't see him too often.
