We have some mixed blessings to report for Snowball.  Unfortunately he has been diagnosed with lung cancer and  cancer may have  been the cause of his neurologic problems with his hind end too. The vet feels that the most humane thing to do is to put Snowball to sleep.

  Turning to the good in this sad news:  Snowball got the best possible treatment during his last few months.  He was surrounded by people who loved him and cared for him,  he was able to get up and move around a bit, and he was even losing a little weight. 

Snowball brought some amazing humans together who otherwise might not have crossed paths.  His legacy will live on in the work we all do to give all dogs a great quality of life and find the loving forever homes they deserve. 

Next time you see some big billowy white clouds in the sky, imagine Snowball running and playing to his hearts content.  Snowball, you made paw prints on our hearts and your life mattered.
