Sadness is heavy

This morning, my darling puppy mill rescue Heartworm Hazel was transported to the hospital where she remains in critical condition. Hazel came to me 3 years ago after she was thrown out by a puppy mill because she was no longer producing and had an agressive case of heartworms.
My vet told me not to become attach as he did not think she would make it through the heartworm treatment.
Well we are 3 years later................
Out of the blue, she fell ill and was rushed to the hospital. So ill, the vet did not know if he could do anything for her, but it giving everything he has to have a Hazel recovery. Hazel is 12 years old - we think - maybe older. She had lived a very hard and difficult life, but is the sweetest thing on earth.
I am not sure she will make it through this as so many things are against her, but we are going to try everything.

Out of all this grief, I made a couple of decisions I think Hazel would be happy with. The bakery's cookies will be renamed......Hazel's Own. Hazel's Cookies, Hazel's, - ...still working on that.
And I have begun the paperwork for a foundation, The Hazel Foundation, that will help pet parents who do not have the finances to have yearly check ups, shots, have their dog or cat spayed or neutered and cannot have the medical care their pet needs to get better. This would cover catastrophic conditions and/or illnesses.
The Bakery already offers free organic food and cookies to Hospice patients. so now we are going a step further.
