<DIV>Renee...Holly Noel's mom asked me to please post the following:</DIV>
<DIV> Esther, Sammy and HomerATB. If anyone would like
to contact Renee about the loss of Holly Noel. Her email is <A href="mailto:rrxina@aol.com">rrxina@aol.com</A></DIV>

<DIV>It is with great sadness that I pass along that this morning Holly Noel,
the Lady Basset Belle, Christmas Angel Hound went to the Rainbow Bridge and into
the waiting paws of her beloved Homer. Holly was mostly deaf, had
arthritis in both rear legs, and had lost a portion of her upper jaw to bone
degeneration. She also had a malignant growth on her back that our vet
recommended that we not attempt to remove. Until this past weekend, she
was not in pain, was content to snooze on her couch (not the green leather
gnoshie couch which she nibbled and then so graciously used to raise money to
help other homeless hounds), and managed to continue to eat her favorite
treats. Things went downhill on Valentine's Day, and today she clearly
decided that she had had enough.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It's a very sad day here.</DIV>
