No kidding. My dad died of a brain tumor at 77. This poor little girl breaks my heart in two. She will be getting a greeting from our Jack Russells sending love to her. Heartbreaking to say the least.

This is so sad. My Mother died of a brain tumor at age 53 in 1973. I wish I could send this little girl a greeting from my Cocker Spaniel, but he passed away in November.

I’ve got a brand new little girl. Sadie Rose. I’ll send her pictures and pictures of Sadie’s best friend Cody soon. Sadie is 1 year and two months, he is 4 years old. A Blue Healer/ Border Collie cross (Cody) and they are fast friends. I’ll get you pictures and some stories. My prayers are with you. God Bless.
