In Memory of Baguette

Sadly, the friendly, little, brindle girl whose foster family thought she was better than sliced bread, lost her fight with pneumonia this week.

Receiving IV fluids and antibiotics, and not able to be taken off oxygen, Baguette was steadily getting worse rather than better. Her diligent, loving foster mom called the hospital multiple times a day to check on her girl and was told that poor Baguette did not have a good prognosis. In the end, she decided the most compassionate thing she could do for Baguette was to let her go with dignity.

There’s a big empty space in Baguette’s foster home this week. Here are some words from her devastated foster mom: “I am very upset about losing her. She was only with my family for a couple of weeks but she had made herself part of the family from day one. I was really looking forward to spending several months with her while we took care of all of her medical issues and got her ready to find an adoptive family.”

Thank you to everyone who prayed for and sponsored Baguette. Though we couldn't save her, she would not have had any chance at all without your generous donations.
