A Visitor asked the following question on 3/15/2006
Our precious little sweetheart, Shirley Valentine Pape, departed this life tonight March 14, 2006 at 7:03pm. Our little girl died in our arms without so much as a single complaint. She was a real trooper. The agony and pain this dog endured for almost four months is a tribute to her stamina. Shirley was stricken with an unknown ailment last Dec. 2005. Four Vets, blood work, x-rays, medications, swollen glands and no one could tell us or help us save our little girl. She had her up and down days. We’d think this was it and she would fool us and rebound. Last Saturday, after a long ride to the Vet and returning home, Shirley began her death march. She stopped eating and drinking but I was able to get a little into her. She began to have trouble standing and could not walk anymore. The last 4 months have been hell with the constant vomiting. She could only tolerate baby food and yogurt, but she struggled on but the decision was made that the time was now. She could not even hold up her head anymore.
Sweet dreams of peace my little girl, thank you for bringing such joy to a part of my life!
I miss you already, I love you
Dan
