Hello Sherill,
I am so sorry to hear about Mary. I'm glad she worked so well for you at 
convention.
Know that you have done all you can for her.

Best!

Liz and Gabe

>> Hello all,

>> I must say that this week did not start off well.  My Goldador Merry, who

>> became so bad during the past two weeks that she is basically walking on
>> three legs.
>>
>> The vet has prescribed lots more pain medication.  I'll do my best to 
>> make
>> her comfortable and I hope we can have a few more   happy times together
>> before we have to say goodbye.  She's been a wonderful guide, and such a
>> precious spirit.  Thankfully the years of joy they bring us outweigh the
>> incredibly sad time of pain and parting.  All who have or have had guide
>> dogs or pets know of what I speak!
>>
>> I hope you'll keep my family in your thoughts and prayers as we go
