We found out her chest was filled with cancer. We hoped we would have some time with her, but the next day, she took a turn down the road to the Bridge. Last Thursday, we let her go, after going into cardiac and respiratory distress. How those 2 days turned so quickly into this, I still don’t get. I am always amazed at how they hide cancer so well from us, and only letting us know at the last moment, they are ill.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Phoebe had been a part of the rescue for a little over 5 years and was around 14 or 15. She had a hard time trusting folks, and only let a few privileged people love her, with pets and snuggles. Many loved her from afar, as she had that sort of face that pulls you right in. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>She was found in Jacksonville, FL, in a park, living under some bushes. I am so happy we were able to let her live as a Queen, mostly on our bed, for the last 5 years. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Phoebe, I hope we made up for the rough time you had in your life, you truly were loved and adored.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you to aunties Glenda, Jill, Diane, and uncle John- for your love and patience to wait for her love<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Wen and the Bounders<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:houndsabound@cfl.rr.com">houndsabound@cfl.rr.com</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
