Time to say goodbye to a wonderful friend

I have not posted in about a month after promising a tutorial for the dominoes. I am very sorry if any of you have been checking back and looking for the tutorial. I will get it on here, I promise. I got distracted and off track during this last month, but for a good reason. My sweet girl, Maddy, who I just posted the smiling photos of recently became sick during this past month. It started out pretty benign, she didn't seem to care for her food anymore. No problem I got a new bag of something that sounded like it would please her. She was only mildly interested in the new stuff and soon started having diarrhea. After two visits to the vet then an internist vet who did a colonoscopy we found out what the problem was after all. Maddy was diagnosed with high grade lymphoma and was getting progressively worse quickly. We had to say good bye to her this past Saturday. She was truly a member of our family and we are having a hard time not having her with us. She was my constant companion, getting used to this new reality not easy.
