Miss Holly Bear

Miss Holly Bear

Holly's owners were Chris and Julie Schilling

On 9-20-2008 about 11:00 am our beloved friend Holly Bear departed this life rather unexpectedly. One day earlier on Friday morning Holly had a bad seizure. We took her to the vet clinic where they took x-rays and diagnosed her with Hemangiosarcoma, a type of cancer. They gave us some medication to put her on to control the seizures and sent us home. They gave Holly roughly 6 months to live. Apparently this type of cancer is mostly incurable. Unfortunately, over night her condition worsened as her seizures became more frequent. By Saturday morning she was in much worse condition, barely responding to us and unable to walk, drink water or do anything for herself. This was not expected at all. I was looking forward to having 6 more months to enjoy with Holly and get prepared for her departure. Because of her condition, we were forced to make the extremely difficult decision to have her put down. This was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Holly Bear was with us for 10 1/2 wonderful years.  She will be missed terribly and never forgotten.
