I lost a companion today.

I had to put my Basset hound, Jello, to sleep today.  She became very ill last night and started to go into shock.  The emergency vet diagnosed her with pancreatitis but the internalist found that she had a mass near her pancreas that was bleeding into her abdomen and that even with surgery her prognosis was not good.  After talking to my wife and consulting with my regular vet, we had her put to sleep.  I held her until she was gone.  She was Daddy’s little girl and I will miss her.

Doug, I cannot tell you how sorry I am. It’s a terrible thing to have to go through, and I know you’re heartbroken. She’s waiting at Rainbow Bridge, and you and Jenn are in my prayers.
