Here's a message from Mattie's Mom, Cheryl:
Today I had to send my beautiful 12 year old girl, Mattie to the Bridge. She had been losing weight and a vet check did not find anything remarkable. Without a bunch of tests we don't really know what it was. I wasnt going to put her through that when it would not change the outcome. The vet suspected a lymphoma. She drank her Ensure this morning but would not touch her scrambled eggs or her chicken and rice. She seemed so uncomfortable and it got progressively worse as the day wore on, so I gave her the last gift I could give her and that was release from her suffering.
