We lost my beloved Mother-in-law earlier last year and a week later my precious Riley crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. Miss and love them both so much.

This is my puppy Riley who I love so much. She is only 4 years old but about a month ago we found out she has cancer and are so heartbroken. The vet would not operate on her and told us to take her home and let her do whatever she wants to do and eat whatever she want to eat which is what we are doing. ihe vet said she only has 1 - 2 months. Riley is acting like she always has acted and is Sonja Steishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05418535410764424079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5951506.post-34023068259289681152013-01-01T17:47:00.001-08:002013-01-01T17:47:32.472-08:002013Welcome to 2013 and my new blog.
