Hallie's gone

Hallie was unable to fight off the illness. She died just before we left to take her to the vet. We already miss her. The Dr. said that Bella would not be able to catch the disease from me when I go to dog-sit on Wednesday. That eases my mind because Bella is also so old and I wouldn't want to do anything to hurt her.
So far this has not been a great month. I look forward to some good news--Lotto anyone?
