Once upon a time...not too long ago, we got our first dog, a Bernese Mountain Dog, and named her "Smiles." She is often smiling, herself, and/but also, when others see her, their frowns often turn to smiles. We love her so. Ineffably so. As do many others. She is 2 years old, will be 3 in May. We just found out that she has cancer. We were shocked, heartbroken. But quickly, we found her the best care that we could, the best treatment, and she just started what will be 25 weeks of chemotherapy. She is being very brave. We need help, though, to help pay for her care, the treatment, to make her better. That's where you come in, our guardian angels. Thank you for anything you can do to contribute to our cause. If you are not able to contribute, then, of course, we understand. And if you know someone who might, then please let us or them know. Thank you for considering.

With gratitude and love.
