On Monday, Marilyn had to let nearly 15 year old Liz make her journey to the Rainbow Bridge.
She was a sweet lady who loved to wear her hats. She will be greatly missed.
If that wasn't painful enough, the very next day (Tuesday) Gus also left for the Bridge.Friday, 4/17/09 he had surgery for an intestinal obstruction & spenectomy and all seemed to be going well. Then, he developed an infection and his Dr. decided to perform another surgery to debride the wound and seek out the cause of the infection. Again surgery was successful, but tragically his heart stopped during recovery and he was unable to be revived.
This has left HOP with over $6,000 in Veterinary bills, essentially wiping out the coffers for the 16 remaining Senior Bassets who reside there.
Melynda Majors has created a First Giving Page for Gus' Memorial Fund to help pay this huge bill. If you can help by making a Donation, no matter how small, it would be so appreciated by Marilyn and the other Hoppers. Every little bit helps!
Godspeed Liz & Gus, and heartfelt sympathy to Marilyn.
