Update:  Izzy ended up having Cushing's Syndrome and she couldn't make it through treatment.  Her kidneys failed.  We put her to sleep today, March 29, 2010.

Today is a very sad day for me.  My Bichon Frise dog named Izzy is being put to sleep.  Izzy is just 6 years old and has not lived a long life - she is just too young to go!  She has been lethargic for a few weeks now and last weekend was really weak.  We took her to our vet and after running tests on her for a week, he has determined that she more than likely has liver cancer.  She is not in any pain right now just very weak.

I made the decision, along with our vet, to put her to sleep today.  I want to be there loving on her and rubbing her ears which she was so fond of.  I want to tell her bye and tell her what a good dog she was.  It is just breaking my heart.

But I know that God has a reason for everything and at least we found it before she was in any pain.  Below are some photos of Izzy - she was so much fun, loved on you, wanted to be rocked, and chase the neighborhood lawnmower sounds around the fence.  She was so gentle with Maggie and I loved her very much.

Rest in peace my sweet puppy.
