She had been eating, but wit fife uf ush mommy not really noticed iffun she was goin potty till den and den cause she jusht stayed on da bed awll day, she onwy came owt fur water an den went rite back to bed. So she was still dwinking.

Checking in for a moment. I'm sorry to hear the news about Franci. She was on the board for such a long time. The explanation about her health makes alot of sense.

My thoughts are with the family during this time. So many pets have passed over to Rainbow Bridge. They are at peace now, but it's never easy for the ones left behind.
