[nagdu] and so soon they leave us!

[Beverly Hunter]

Oh Cherrill, this is terrible. I can't help but wonder if Shiloh has the 
same thing. The vet said it was arthritis, but I just can't help but wonder. 
She too is 12 and can hardly get around, well she will be 12 on December 7. 
My prayers will be with you and your family.
