Update 9/8/03
We have had Maddy for over 6 months now and she has made astounding progress.
However she has also had some serious problems, including biting me several times.
We feel that she will never be well suited to placement. She is too high strung and too unpredictable.
So with a very heavy heart we made the decision to have Maddy put down today.
We gave her a great last weekend, and she got to cuddle in bed with me all morning today.
She died peacefully in my arms at around 11:30 AM.
We have grown to really love her, despite her flaws. And we will miss her a lot.
Rescue can be a wonderful thing, but there are difficult times too.
This is one of the most difficult, and is something we never want to have to do. But sometimes it is for the best..

Be well Maddy! We love you.
