Fancy - our baby - our almost 12-year old "baby". You gave so much love to us and you fought so hard with so many problems all your life. You had so many health issues and illnesses, yet you overcame them and kept living and loving. But the last few months have been difficult. Watching you breathing hard, having diarrhea, vomiting, and just feeling so poorly - knowing your liver was getting worse - all of that was very hard to watch. The last couple weeks - you had several very very good days and then you went downhill again and we just didn't want you to continue to get worse and worse. You were not enjoying your life and we could not let you be in pain anymore. So the very difficult and painful decision was made. We cried and cried. And I held you in my arms for the last time Monday morning as we let you go. No more pain, no more vomiting, no more constant diarrhea, no seizures. Now I like to think you are running and playing and enjoying yourself with Thea. And I know God will be watching over you and I already feel His comfort and love for me and someday I will see both you and Thea again and hold you both in my arms. I will always love you little "Fancy Pants."

I remember the day she was born. What a doting mother you were...Tiki was too. She was so tiny. It has been an incredible almost 12 years. I am sure that God intended for her to be yours. Most people could not or would not have dealt with so many issues. Dr Baird has been amazing with her. What a plethora of knowledge he has gained as a vet because of this little girl. Because of her many other dogs will benefit from his vast knowledge that he gained through treating her.
Fancy, I will miss your warm, excited welcomes when I visit your Mommy. You were always there to welcome me even when I had been gone for long periods of time. I love you little girl.
Debbie and Terri, we all know how hard it is to lose a pet/friend/child but I also know that each grief is unique. Our relationships with our pets are one of a kind. I pray that you have grown because of this relationship, and that you will continue to share your love with other animals that God will place in your life. My prayers and love are with you.
Would you like a puppy? She is fun...energetic...need I go on?
