And today was one of them. I just had to have one of my “babies” put to sleep.

Naomi has not been well for quite some time so this was not a big surprise, but it still really sucks. She was x-rayed months ago and had some very obvious abnormal areas of her spine. We tried several different treatments in the hope of it getting better, or at the very least stopping it from getting any worse, and nothing seemed to work. So today we went for more x-rays, mostly to confirm what I already knew, she is not ever going to get better, just worse, so we decided that the best thing to do was put her down. She has hardly eaten anything in the last 6 months, she stayed on the heat all the time, and was in obvious pain. When she did move you could just tell it was very uncomfortable for her. Her muscles would be very tense and even after she would stop, it would take a long time for her to relax and “just be” again. At least she is no longer in pain.



She will be sorely missed!!





Take care, I hope your day has been better than mine.
