This is my dog Marcel. He passed away this past Thursday morning, Feb. 11th, 2009. He was my first dog, and my best friend for 13 years. This is a picture of him taken last spring, after he was diagnosed with heart disease. The medication prolonged his life almost a year, and he was a very happy dog up until the end. His heart gave out, and he died in his sleep. I was truly blessed to have him for 13 years. He was a happy dog, with a very pure heart. I will miss him very much.
