				A decision had to be made and it was made today.  Due to failing health, after a discussion with the Vet we finally said goodbye to Bess. She had awful arthritis,  dementia, a weak Heart, was going both blind and deaf so her quality of life was plunging to zero at an alarming pace.  Her departure was peaceful.
 
 
I am truly grateful for 10,001 joyful memories.

				Emma and I are so sad about the passing of your boon companion. May happy memories of Bess and Jazz romping along the seaside lift your spirits.
