Our hearts are breaking with the loss of our beloved dog, Ivy.  She has been our constant companion for the past 15 ½ years.  She had slowed down very little considering her age but these last two weeks we knew something was very wrong.  One of the hard things of being on the road with an older dog is finding a competent veterinarian.  After a bad experience with the first vet we took her to,  we found a wonderful vet that told us that she was 99% sure that Ivy had a brain tumor. We took her home with a lot of sadness and decided to do the wait and see thing but before we left the vet’s office she gave us the “what’s better for Ivy and not us”…
