Coincidence, yes it was.

It's cancer, and it's unfair to consider treating it. That's the consensus of the vet and I this afternoon after the ultrasound.

Ai-chan's not going to make it. And instead of putting her through a course of treatment that would, at best, give her a year? There are hard decisions, and then there are those like this one - painfully easy. Like swallowing broken glass.

We're letting her go. Jim's on his way, we're going together to the vet and be there to say goodbye.

I'm pretty sure Spice will be waiting for her - I think they've missed each other long enough.

I'll miss her. I can almost be grateful for the scars she gave me.



Oh kitty, I wish I could have fixed it for you.

I'm really sorry. She looks like one of the mighty ones. I know you're doing right by her.

Oh she was, she most certainly was. When she was still a wee one, she went forth to challenge Spice out Cairn Terrier. They became the best of friends and loved to chew on each other.
