It's been a rough week for us here in the Martin house. We lost our sweet girl, Lexi on Monday night. As most of you know, she was diagnosed with a massive inoperable liver tumor over 2 years ago. She had been symptom-free the whole time, until last Friday when she started declining rapidly. By Monday we knew it was time to say goodbye. She could no longer walk & was extremely disoriented. We had our home care/hospice vet put her to sleep here at our house, surrounded by our whole family. She was by my side for 14+ years & was the love of my life. I'm devastated but trying to keep myself busy & distracted. You can see more photos of her & stuff on my Facebook page HERE.
