RIP NUBBY 12/1/01-12/30/10

As tears flow down my cheeks I will never forget the Chunky Monkey. We lost Cierra December 30th after a 2 week battle with a tumor called "hemangiosarcoma." I started with her not acting herself one evening and a trip to the vet at 2 in the morning to find her abdomen was full of blood. Emergency surgery hours later revealed a tumor on the stump of her uterus. Dr. K removed the tumor and Cierra was recovering well at home, then 2 weeks later she was bleeding internally again. Back to the vet at 4 in the morning for an ultrasound to find she was bleeding from another  blood vessel and not where the tumor was. We were then left with 2 options. A blood tranfusion from our other dog or euthanasia. The transfusion would maybe get us 2 more days so we decided to pick the later as it wasn't fair to let her suffer, let Cidney suffer, or let us suffer watching her knowing it was fatal in the end. I miss her greatly, all her kisses (we called it beware of licker), her 6 am alarm clock we called her gut, her sweet eyes, and her unconditional love! May you be sunbathing in the heavens above my girl! I LOVE YOU CIERRA!!!!!!!
