In memory of Lexus, the sweetest Dalmatian girl I have ever known. Rescued 1/6/2001, died 3/8/2008. We watched her deteriorate over the past several months and we thought it was because of her spine injuries. A couple of weeks ago, her breathing starting seeming a bit labored so we had that checked out and it turns out her chest and abdominal cavities were full of tumor(s) and were starting to fill with fluid. This must have been the cause of some of the deterioration - we just didn't know because of her other health issues. In the past few days, her midsection grew and her breathing became more difficult - it was time to let her go. We hand fed her food and held and petted her while our vet took care of the euthanasia and she didn't really even notice anything besides us. She has peacefully and quietly gone to the Rainbow Bridge where she will be whole again and have no more suffering or pain of any kind. We miss you already, Lexus and we will never forget you.
