A Special Baby Gone to Heaven

We are sorry to report that little Riley passed from this life on Sunday 19 October 2008. The tumor near his heart had grown larger than the heart itself, and he was beginning to suffer. His human mommy and daddy held him in their arms as the kind vet sent Riley's spirit back to heaven. We are sure the Polly Wolly Wa Wa Angel was waiting for him and guided him to all the sunshine and love in heaven. Riley's first mommy Ezmy and his daddy Ridley were already waiting for him. Fly on your angel wings Riley!

Special Thoughts Requested For Riley

Riley is a 9 year old Boston that has been diagnosed with a very rare cancer that causes a tumor to grow near his heart called a chemodectoma. There is nothing that can be done for this condition other than to give little Riley medicines to help his heart work better so fluid does not build up in his lungs. Riley is loved so much by his human mommy and daddy that they are very upset that he will have fewer days with them than they had hoped. Please join us and the Polly Wolly Wawa Angel (watch this page in the future for the Polly Wolly story) in wishing Riley many more happy days in the sunshine or chewing his favorite toy at his mommy's feet.
