January 11th, we lost our beloved Montana:(

She was 12 years old. We watched her fight to get better for 2 months. She became sick in early November with liver failure. We did everything to get her better. There were alot of ups and downs, but December came and she acted like a puppy again and she seemed to get better.

It was the best thing we could ask for. But 2 days after Christmas, she became sick again. We did everything again but this time it didn't help. We told her it was okay to go and once we said that, she kissed us. The next day she died in our arms from liver failure.

Our love for her is greater than any words can express. Our sadness is the same. Nicolas is comforted in knowing he has another angel, but it is still painful.

We love & miss you, Montana!!
