I just received the email below from the Director of the Animal Control shelter. One bright spot is that this little Yorkie knew she had some people who loved her before she passed away. Maybe she just needed to know that before she died.

Mr. Williams,
I was just checking on the dog's condition moments ago and found that
she had passed away. It is such tragic news, she seemed to be
responding well to treatment. We were so looking forward to sending her
home with you. She was the favorite with the staff. We are suspecting
a problem with her liver, but won't know until after a closer
examination by our veterinarian. We are all upset by her loss. We deal
with such a high volume of animals passing through our doors, but she is
one who captured our hearts. I'll be looking forward to working with
you again in the future.

I am so glad that the staff showed her care and concern in her final days. I thank them for that. The "We were so looking forward to sending her
home with you" just breaks my heart though... |
