I just received an update on Alexis. The rescue in whose care she was placed decided to euthanize her due to incontinence. It is important to me to note that neither the APL nor I were consulted on this decision. It is emphatically *not* the decision I would have made. In fact I had a number of other people interested in Alexis who would have gladly taken on the responsibility of caring for her. I am devastated by this loss.
Most of the donations that were received went to cover the cost of the initial x-rays, which were significantly more than we expected. If you made a donation and would like it returned out of the small amount that is left, please contact me. Otherwise I will use the remaining funds for medical treatment for the APL dog in next greatest need, who at this point would be Brutus.
Thank you all for caring so much about this special girl. I'm so sorry to have to give you this news.

God%@*&^&@! They didn't consult you?!!! Unfreaking-believable.
This is horrible. I can hardly believe it. Terrible. Oh my God.
Well, it's hard to know how extensive the incontinence was, and whether there were other problems that may have led to difficult health complications for Alexis' recovery.
I am saddened for Alexis' early passing, but I take heart that the kindness of people permitted a veterinary evaluation and realistic assessment of her condition.
I can rest at nights, knowing that my contribution was wisely used for Alexis.
Godspeed Alexis!
Rest in Peace,, Sweet Angel, Alexis.
You were loved by many.
Thank you APL for showing her kindness.
I can't believe they didn't consult you.
