We miss you Honey :**(


I am writing this with a very heavy & sad heart. We had to put our beloved dog, Honey, down last night. She started getting sick in the house overnight a few days before Thanksgiving. It progressed to vomiting anything she took in, although she still was eating. I brought her in to the vet last Tuesday when I noticed her abdomen started swelling pretty significantly. The drew some fluid out of it & spun it down to take a look. She found what looked to be rapidly dividing cancer cells. With Honey being 11 1/2 we decided to keep her comfortable for the remainder of her life. She stopped eating by Friday. I called the vet Monday because she was so weak, she couldn't walk. We were going to wait until our regular vet was in on Tuesday to take her in. Yesterday afternoon I noticed her gums were extremely pale which can indicate internal bleeding. I called the vet & Eddie came home right away. They were nice enough to come to the house & Honey passed while I kissed her head. It was & is absolutely devastating. She was not just a dog, but part of our family. It feels very empty around here. She is greatly missed. What a horrible way to start the Christmas season. 
We love you Honey!
