She left us last night.<br>During her time here, she had her tail amputated (due to a horrible open mass) and a mass removed from her mouth that turned out to be squamous cell carcinoma. While the markers indicated the cancer was slow growing, I am pretty sure it is what took her.<br>She came to us with the name Cleo, although she did not acknowledge that name. Little did we know, her name was Princess, but us dumb humans went ahead and named her Ashley. After a few days, we rarely called her anything other than Princess, except each morning, when we called her Bedhog. Princess walked into our home and did not announce her status with any sense of being better than anyone else here, it was more just a sense of, "I am a Princess".....very matter of fact. She was very humble, but seemed to also know, what she determined, was her birthright. Life is too full of surprises and losing Princess has been one of those. Wed. evening she was engaging Phoebe to play and Thursday evening she had crashed and needing to be helped to the Bridge. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>I probably should not tell you all, but I am. When we had to have her tail amputated, I had the vet save it, as I knew we both would want to have her tail be with her when her time came. So, her tail was cremated with her, and she is no doubt wagging up a storm at the Bridge, must be where those high winds were coming from today. We were very honored to have this sweet, bossy little Princess, and will miss her dearly as she did not give us nearly enough time to love her! <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>We are always sending out drool to all in need.<span style='color:#76923C'><o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#76923C'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>wen and the Bounders<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>www.seniorhoundsabound.org</span></b><b><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p></div></body></html>
