With Heavy Hearts

It is with a heavy heart that I deliver this news to our blog followers…One week ago today, our beloved Angel passed away. She was at home and we very much believe that it was peaceful. Angel can now truly be our Angel and watch over us from Heaven.
Angel’s sudden passing was just six days after her tumor removal; she had no complications, and everyone (including her doctors, whom we visited four days after her surgery) was amazed with her recovery progress.
We have now learned that her tumor was a high-grade Neurofibrosarcoma, which is a cancer that affects the tissue surrounding the nerves. The mention of it being high-grade leads us to believe that it began to spread through her body very quickly. We are currently awaiting autopsy results from the University of Minnesota…we hope this will shed some light as to what happened and hopefully help us cope with the passing of our beautiful girl.
A friend told me, “Our dogs don’t need to live as long as we do…because they don’t need to learn to love like we do.”
This is a picture of Angel in 2005…but it is one of my favorites.
We love you girl…you will NEVER be forgotten!
