Treat hasn't updated her diary in some time, and I'm awfully, awfully sorry about that. Today she made her journey to the Bridge after a brief battle with what we believe was a tumor on her spinal chord or on the base of her brain. We won't ever really know for sure. She fought the battle with all she had, but today she looked at me with the gaze that said she was ready to go. After all the fun we've shared, and all the times she's comforted me, I had to honor this one last request from her. I had no idea that I could cry as many tears as I have. Heartbroken is such a small word for how devastated I feel with her loss. She will always be my heart dog. She was a wonderful ambassodor for greyhounds everywhere and many found homes because of her winning personality. She brought joy to many people in her role as a certified therapy dog. Treat was also proud to be a READ dog. There was never anywhere that I was going that she didn't want to be as well. When I was sick, she was there with me. I've met so many wonderful people as a result of having Treat in my life that I couldn't possibly be able to name them all. I have been truly blessed to have had her in my life and I will always be grateful to my little brindle dog for helping to heal my heart. Godspeed, Princesse, I will miss you so!
