It is with great sadness that I write of my Hayley's passing. This gentle little flower was surrendered to the shelter at the age of 9 because her owner couldn't deal with the accidents caused by Lasix (a diuretic used to treat her heart condition).
What an angel Hayley turned out to be! My late Hazel welcomed her with open paws and Hayley subsequently did the same for each Bullyhaven newcomer. She was especially adept in calming the hospice dogs and making them feel immediately at home. The picture below shows her hanging out with late hospice girl, Ursula.
Although Hayley's been in heart failure for the past 1.5 years, it was cancer that finally took her away from us. Her buddy Chico (a min pin x chihuahua) underwent hip surgery yesterday and had a chance to say goodbye to her at the same hospital. He was there to help her peacefully slip away.
Sleep tight, sweet girl. I miss you so much and keep thinking that if I leave your meds on the counter and freshen up your bed, I'd see you walking in from your beloved garden spot. Thank you for almost 3 years of constant sunshine and love.
