A friend I have known since childhood is having a rough time. Her 11 year old Shepherd mix is dying slowly. Nothing wrong, just old age. They are trying to decide whether to put her to sleep or not now. She's pretty thin. The dog's name is Belle. They rescued her from a puppy mill when she was 11 months old and it took ages for her to to trust. They've put so much hard work, time, money, and especially love into this girl that it must be heartwrenching. So please, send peaceful passing vibes to Belle. Thanks so much!
