"I'm sorry to give everyone bad news early in the morning, but I figured I would get it over with. We had to put Willow down last night.

She had a tumor in her lung that was the size of her heart. It was so large that it was pushing against her esophagus, causing her to cough. Willow tried very hard to survive, but unfortunately the disease won.

I'm happy to say that every day she was in the care of LSBR or my family, she was pampered and spoiled rotten. She was able to sleep in a nice comfortable bed and had her own place right next to my desk.

We were sorry to see her go, but it was the best for Willow. This is all the more reason we should keep doing what we are doing. Whatever your cause is, do it with diligence, no matter what the pay off is."
