Our special little girl  Cruella.
		It is with great sadness that we have lost our special little girl Cruella. Feb 24th ,she had gone through her brain surgery in Oct and was doing so good,, she was probably at least 75 % on her mobility, and her mind was 100%,, always fussing at me, barking at me to come give her attention.  She loved to clean the other dogs, their eyes and ears and would not let them take any advantage of her good nature.  She kept them all in line, from the smallest to the biggest.

From the time we purchased Cruella out of state and had her shipped to us, she had a feisty personality about her.  She rode home in a friends lap with three other pups and they all slept while she continued to jump up and bite Robyn’s chin and demanded attention.  She was so tiny the airline attendants thought she was a guinea pig!  She was a little ball of black and white fur.

About two weeks ago, Cruella started showing signs of being unbalanced and would lean on things, and her legs would go out from under her as if she were scurrying away from something. She moved a bit stiffer too.  I notified her surgeon and our local vet,, the surgeon wanted us to bring her in for a check up,., within three more days she was completely down and not able to walk at all.  Her mental state was still the same, she still fussed at me and when I would get home from work she would bark at me to come tend to her.  After a trip back to the surgeons with the option of another MRI at 2,600 and another possible surgery at more than double that amount, we brought her home.  We spent this past week giving her love and attention, holding her when I could and knowing in my heart that her life was shortened by this disease and possible scar tissue growing back that caused her paralysis.  We could not let her suffer any longer.  If there is a place for dogs in heaven she is surly there,, as we all know that DOG spelt backwards is GOD.  That could not be a coincidence.  What would life be without dogs huh?

There are discounts available for the Caviler King Charles Spaniels for the MRI and diagnosis because it is so prevalent in the breed, Cruella was a feisty proud Pomeranian who fought hard to stay in our world with us.  Listed below is a site that tells about this disease, if you desire to read about it.  It shows pictures of the surgery she went though and tells about the disease.  It is called Chairi like syndrome with a more technical name listed. (Syringomyelia (SM)

For all of those that knew Cruella and was supportative for us through all of this we want to thank you so much for your kind words and comfort.  We love and miss Cruella very much and she will be a part of our lives that she touched forever.  Our Grandboys called her Shark Teeth because as a pup she would grab their socks and pant legs and her tiny teeth were like needles.

Cruella will be in our minds and hearts forever,  She was very Special little girl and she knew it too!   The only thing taking our Pain away is knowing she is no longer suffering.
