Hello Debbie:

 

Sending prayers for peace, strength and comfort your way.  Our guides are
trusted companions and family members and they are the gift that keeps on
giving!  It is very difficult to make that decision, but we also have to
consider the dog's best interest.

 

Love,

Andy and Brie

Dear friends,

 

Today I made the painful decision to euthanize Bella after just shy of three
months of her battle with lymphoma.  We weathered 7 chemo treatments to
fight the cancer, knowing that it was treatable, not cureable.  

 

The seventh treatment was a different drug regimen, but of similar cost to
the previous two treatments.  

 

She had six or seven blessed weeks of happier time and light guide work.  I
feel true gratitude to all my family and friends for your prayers,
transportation, and especially monetary help and well wishes.
