Jill's final trip
Jill's final trip was today. She had 5 1/2 years with us where she learned to love RVing. She had the scourge of Golden Retrievers, hemangiosarcoma. Tumors were in her spleen, liver and skin and probably had metastasized to either her brain or spinal cord or nerves to her front left leg. There was really no option other that to eliminate her suffering.
Those of you who met her at the Old Fella Rallies got to see the gentle soul she was. She had a tough first 7 1/2 years, mostly ignored and left outside with little human interaction. She had heartworms and multiple intestinal parasites along with being pretty thin when we adopted her.
It took her about 6 months to get past the OCD behavior that was her mechanism to cope. She grew to love the RV and camping then her housemates, first Charmin then Henry and more recently Kaylee.
This was taken about a month ago at Paynetown SRA near Bloomington, IN (her favorite campground). Jill is telling Kaylee that she doesn't have to chase EVERY squirrel away.
RIP, Jill.
