It is with tears in my eyes I type of the passing of Mardon's Ava today dueto complications from surgery for aggreaaive mammary cancer, her second surgery in as many months. She was 9 yrs old last week. She was given to me by late late Don Fraenkel and was one of the sweetest aniamls I have ever owned. She was a wonderful mother and producer with her most recent Ch finishing at 12.5 mos old and she is 1 major RES away from her ROM which she is so deserving of I am grateful to have her sons and daughter here to carry on her legacy. RIP my sweet Ava! Katie ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
