Sad News


Yesterday at about 10:30 our beautiful pug Violet passed away quietly in my arms. The day before she woke up with the right side of her face very swollen and weeping. We took her to see Meg who gave her some pain meds and fluids and referred us to specialist in the same building as her oncologists. We were hopeful that it was an infection that could be treated but by early the next morning she was having breathing and as they intebated her they discovered a huge mass up over her palate and behing her eye. There was nothing more to do...
Randy and I were both with her as she slipped away. We told her what a good dog she had been to us, how much we loved her and how much we would all miss her.
The house seems very empty without her. The kids are sad, and poor Flint keeps looking for his playmate.
We are all so heartbroken...

Oh Rhonda, I am SOOOO sad to hear the news. Little Violet - I loved her.
Hugs to the whole family. Poor little Flint ... without his bossy little sister.

Sorry to hear about your loss. My family lost our beloved dog this past November. Losing a pet is very hard, but I am sure Violet will live on your hearts.
