Our Family Journal

As some folks already know we had to put Dax to sleep on Friday December 22. She had been unable to get up and wasn't able to use one of her legs. We had thought she might have just had a sprain but when we took her to the Vet. x-rays showed that she had fairly advanced and untreatable bone cancer throughout her body. Bone cancer can be very painful and the last thing we wanted to do is put our girl through any unnecessary pain. She was a great dog. I still remember rescuing her from the PG County pound it was Labor Day weekend in 1997 - in the midst of so much commotion at the pound Dax was sitting quietly in her kennel waiting to be taken home. We were very lucky to have her in our lives for over 9 years. We will miss her.
