This is a photo of Browse, taken in March 2005. We adopted Browse in
December of 2001 after her owner passed away very unexpectedly.
John knew Cheryl, her former owner, for at least 35 years. She is/was
the sister of Steve, our firefighter friend, who died seven months later,
in July of 2002. His death was also very unexpected.

Today we made the extremely hard decision to euthanize poor Browse. She
had been getting weaker and in the last few days lost the ability to stand.
She had stopped eating and cried in pain everytime she tried to move. Even
with all that, it was still a hard decision. It's been a very sad day.

Browse was between 15 and 16 years-old.
