White Dog, Steve and I were shocked when we received my sister, Mary's phone call last night telling us that my Aunt Bette had suffered a massive aneurysm and that things looked very grim. White Dog could sense the foreboding suddenly hanging in the air and was very giving. We were somewhat prepared this morning when Mary called to report that Bette was brain dead and was just waiting for the legal/medical system to catch up with what her body had already decided and to sign the death certificate. Bette was a dog lover and we hope she is now reunited with her beloved Whippet, Toad...and that both have found peace.
