 Here are some expressions of sympathy by NEBTR members for Linda Antonelli, who gave everything in an attempt to save these two precious babies.

Linda:

I am so sorry.  What a tough week for you.  Thank you for opening your heart and homes to these two girls.  If they had any kind of a shot at making it, it would have been with you.  Sadly, they were both too far gone.

That's is just awful and heartbreaking, so sad for Little Girl and Linda.

My Josie was rescued from a puppy mill at 12 weeks old and she had pneumonia. She ended up in the hospital for a month and when we brought her home, we had to get her right back there. This went on for the first 6 months of her life; which is why she is not socialized very well with other dogs. But she is alive thanks to all the people dedicated to keep her so.

In any case, it a terrible disease for little dogs, especially young ones or whose immune systems are compromised. We did what we could. She was comfortable in her last days, thanks to Linda.

This is just to sad to bear. Two little girls in a week. Thank you to Linda for showing them both love and kindness. They knew what that was in the end..... ~Liz~ Newtown Square PA

This breaks my heart.  My family donated online yesterday to help Cabbage Patch in in her fight.  This story touched our souls and we are beyond sad to hear of this news. 

Linda - you are an angel.  So sorry for this loss...  Jill Atcheson

In all of my anger, and the need to wish Little Girl a good life over the Rainbow Bridge, I failed to tell you, Linda how sorry I am for your loss - you gave Little Girl a warm home, good food a big heart and the love she might have never known. My prayers are with you.

Someone had said that this anger we have should fuel us even more so that we can save all those who need to be saved. I concur!

This one hurts. Well they all do, this one is just killing me right now.  I was so hoping she was going to win.  Thanks Linda for fighting for both of Lily and Cabbage Patch/Little Girl and giving them love and a warm soft place to land

So sorry to hear about Little Cabbage Patch--how terrible to lose both
those little pups. Pat

Linda, I'm so sorry.  Two dogs so close together, very tough.  You gave it your best, thank you.

This is so heartbreaking.  After hearing about her passing I am finding comfort in the fact that she was loved dearly, more than she will ever know, in the last days of her life.  Our pain (and I think Linda would agree) is worth her knowing love and not losing her life at the shelter.  Run free pretty lady and my thoughts are with you Linda.  You are a hero.

Thank you Linda. They were so lucky to have you as their loving angel until the end.

Run free little Cabbage Patch.

I am so sorry to hear this.   I was just starting to think that she was going to make it.  Linda you did all you could and I truly believe that she knew what real love was before she passed.  Run free at Rainbow Bridge Little Girl.

Tears flowing,

Dear God, so sad for Linda, I know she put her all into trying to save these babies! They passed warm and loved and in a better place than a shelter. Let all the anger, hurt and sadness fuel our passion to save all those still in need! So many tears and prayers! I feel physically sick over this news.
