Mom's girl Brie passed last night

Here's the email they sent...

Just wanted to let you know that we had to saygood-bye to Brie yesterday evening. You now
I told you about the staggering or loss of
muscle control on her back quarters. There were
other things too recently - like not wanting milk,
coffee, or some of her other favorite things.
Then shortly after I had visited with the vet yesterday,
got home and was doing a few things in the kitchen - she
came in with blood all over her mouth. It was a nose
bleed that got continually worse - to the point that she
was struggling to breathe. She did have advanced stages
of Cushing's Disease - and had a number of the symptoms
associated with it. SHE WAS A WONDERFUL PET
and we thank you for bringing her to us to give us such joy.

I pulled that sweet girl out of a Houston shelter 11 or 12 years ago when I was visiting...she was a bigger dog than they wanted. They soon learned that she had an even bigger heart.

She LOVED coffee & would stick her long nose down into their cups if left unattended...I will never forget that about her, among other quirks.

Rip Brie...you will be missed greatly.

Sounds like quite a character! So sorry you lost her, but so glad you had such wonderful life together.

Ohhhh, that makes me teary eyed

Very sorry!!! She sounds like a great dog. My old Max has Cushings too and we play a balancing act with his medication. One day we will lose him too.
