Posted on behalf of her loving mom:
Just emailing you to tell you the very sad news that our wonderful girl Cashew has to be put to sleep tomorrow just 4 months shy of her 13th birthday. She has been ill for the past two months and after many trips to the vet, tests, and medication nothing worked. The vet said that it's just her time. We had her back at the vets tonight and he said that there is no time to waste anymore. I am taking the day off work tomorrow to spend the day with her and will take her for her appointment at 4:00 pm. I will stay in the room with her and hold and comfort her right to the end in the same way that I have given her my love, affection and caring from the day we brought her home. It's going to kill me but I must see it through for Cashew. My sweet girl, who has given me so such joy deserves it and I must be strong for her now in her time of need.
I am so grateful for the 9 wonderful years we had with her. We couldn't have asked for a better dog but my heart is so filled with pain right now I just don't know how I'm going to get through this. I love her so very much as does my whole family and I just can't imagine not having her here with us.
I know that you have been through this yourself and can understand my pain. I can't stop crying and don't want to let her go but I don't want her to suffer. We gave her the best possible life we could and spoiled her rotten and she so very much deserved every bit of it.
Please pray for us to have the strength to get through this. She isn't gone yet and I'm dying inside. I just don't know if I can get through this.
I am so happy that I found GRA and such a wonderful addition to our family.
Take care,
Maria

My sweet Cashew is gone. At 4:50 pm November 21, 2008 she was finally at peace. Holding her to the very end I watched her peacefully go to sleep. I miss her so very much I just can't contain my grief. My only relief is that she is no longer suffering. All the messages from the GRA Members have been of great comfort to me. They too are as special as this wonderful breed.
