GOODBYE CREAM BEANS!

It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to “Cream”...Ch. Bayshore's Cream of Wheat (Flapjack daughter) who lived to an amazing 16 1/2 years old.  Cream was a special gift from Frank & Chris of Bayshore and we will always be grateful for the opportunity to have her in our lives. She was a wonderful spirit and always a graceful, strong and kind dog.

She left us as she lived her life...with dignity, sweet love and an unmatched inner strength that never seemed to diminish. Because her body failed before her mind, the past several months have been difficult on her and us. Thank you to the staff at Blue Ridge Vets for their never ending support....Dr. Campbell & Dr. Hall for their guidance and knowledge, Christy for her at the ready hospice care and on her last day with us, Monica & Dr. Karen Iovino for the compassionate words and caring touch they showed Cream.
We know we are not supposed to have "favorite kids", but there are those dogs that come along and have a way of quietly rising to the top of a full heart. That is where she will stay until we meet again!
