Godspeed Sweet Noel

Since our last update on Noel, everything had been going very well, any thoughts of Cancer taking Sweet Noel away from us seemed to disappear. Until last week, Noel had been a healthy, happy English Setter, enjoying life as they always do, chasing bunnies, seeking out birds, and just having fun.
An infection landed her in the vets office, to find out that the cancer had now spread to her lungs, thus reminding us of the brutal reality, the injustice that had been laid upon Noel,..
The numerous litters, and lack of proper vet care, was now taking it's toll.
Noel was sent home with a shot of antibiotic and some cortisone to ease the pain,..We were hoping for a another week or two anyway,..
Noel came home and hit the bunnie trail again, played with Gracie and the gang, everything was once again pretty good for Noel.
Ivy, knowing that her time was limited,and knew she must stay close, in case Noel once again crashed and had to be rushed back to the vet, slept with her in the kitchen, while the other dogs stayed as close as possible, knowing things were not good.
On Sunday morning Noel got up and again played outside, and then came in for a nap.
It was when she woke up, that Ivy knew it their time had now come to an end.
Sadly Ivy, called the vet, and received instruction to bring Noel in,... for the last time.
They got into the Truck and Noel sat in front, checking out all the goings on as the last miles flew by,..she then got tired ,and layed her head in Ivy's lap,...Sending Ivy a final ,"Thank You".
Noel was pretty much already on her way, as she was lifted to the examinng table, and after 4 tries a vein was finally found,.. and our Dear Sweet Noel ,was now on her final journey home,....
Godspeed, sweet Noel,....
