It is with MUCH sadness and through tears that I write today to tell you that our MUCH loved Phoebe is no longer with us in body, but will be forever with us in our hearts and memories!

When her cancer came back for the second time, we and she fought it just as hard as the first time. Unfortunately, nothing this time around did much good to beat back her tumors and, in the end, she grew tired. We kept waiting for Phoebe to tell us she was ready to cross over the Rainbow Bridge, but Phoebe's huge heart wanted to stay with us! She tried so hard! Her body just couldn't do what her heart was so desiring any longer. She was TIRED and we couldn't deny her that final act of love and compassion. Nor did we want to deny her as much. In fact, as painful as it was for us, our last hour laying on the floor with her was peaceful, full of love. We even watched as she dreampt, her feet twitching in full gallop--chasing birds no doubt.

She peacefully slipped away on Dec. 11th, 2010 with the help of one of her vets with whom she had a special bond, laying atop the couch in her own living room, the room filled with soft candle light and a Haydn symphony and limitless love poured upon her from Kurt, Kelly & Daisy.

Kurt and I are naturally devastated and sad as we feel we have not only lost a beloved pet, but such a HUGE part of our family and everyday, shared life--all the walks, trips to the dog park, the dog beach, the park to run, play time, sleep time (all in one bed), the vacations in the RV, the rental cabins in the snow, all the smells of the wilderness on our walks, and swims in the streams! Not a single part of our life was she not a big part of!

SHE WILL BE SO MISSED!

While we all prayed and hoped for a better outcome, Kurt and I are very grateful that we at least had these last 11 months with her to say a long goodbye--with pretty much all but the last week or so being good. This was so important to us in being able to let her go--knowing we did everything we could to fight this disease; but also recognizing when Phoebe was telling us she LOVED us very much, but it was time for her to rest, and that she would see us again some day!

With much love,
Kelly, Kurt and Daisy
