The day I've been dreading came today. We lost our 12 yo girl Belle. Vet said she was a lab mix with some Aussie Cattle dog in her, but I just called her a "red dog". She put up a good fight against cancer and was hanging in there ok. Didn't think she was this close, but we could tell she was a little puny last night and was gone this morning. She still found the energy to love us unconditionally every minute of every day. We got her from a shelter when she was a pup, and she was the sweetest, most loving dog you could imagine. She was the pup my kids (now adults) all grew up with, and they're all crushed. Going to miss my girl.
