Eve

As most of you know by now, Eve got sick over Christmas and we had to put her down last week. She developed a large tumor in her chest cavity that was taking up the space her lungs used to breathe, and the tumor was a type that could not be treated with chemo. It was a very difficult decision for us, but we hope it was the right thing to do.

Here are some pictures from Eve's life, from early 2008 to the present. We actually got her in 2007, but those older pictures are not on my computer's hard drive. Still, you can see that she looks younger in the earlier pictures and grows more mature over time.
