On April 17, Hope and I spent a long day at the University of California Davis. Hope was tested extensively by the top Oncologist there. I was devastated to find out that Hope's cancer had spread to her spleen and was found widespread in her abdomen. I was told that Hope had a short time left. So sadly, Hope was put to sleep on May 31, 2003, at home. A wonderful lady Vet came to the house. She was very nurturing and compassionate. Hope and Kona loved her. Hope is my best friend in the whole world and I love her more than anything, and I always will. I think about her constantly and I miss her terribly. I know that Hope is now in a very beautiful place, free of her body. I can't wait until I see her again. |
