Yesterday Bonn wrote to me saying "It's time."

Ani had been sitting up, unable or unwilling to lay down for most of the night and day. I had hoped it was a result of some extra meds I'd given her the night before, but Bonn didn't think so. We discussed it and decided to take her to the vet on Saturday and send her off to The Crab Shack then.

I wrote a quick email to say I had a family emergency and would be gone for the rest of the week. If Ani was only going to have two more days around us (for now) then I was going to be home for them.

This morning, she got up, ate a big breakfast and headed outside as quickly as she could. It was her way of saying, "H3ll no, you're not taking me out that easily."

That's my girl, fighting to have it her way all the way to the end.

She's still in bad shape (her right paw is badly eaten up with cancer) but, of course, we have changed our plans for Saturday. (!)
