Almost Caught My Breath...

I was just beginning to get over the passing of my sweet Petunia, when my other little darling Rosie left me. She had been losing a 2 month long battle with cancer. The tumors had gotten so large, that the poor girl couldn't properly walk or groom. To eat, she had to sit in the bowl so the sides would lift up the tumors enough that she could use her front paws to grab and hold the food to eat. I tried to hand feed her, but she was little miss independent and wouldn't eat out of my hand... She was extremely active to the very end, even though she struggled just to walk, the tumors itched so badly that she dug holes in her skin, and her fur was falling out where the tumors were...

In this picture, you can clearly see the tumors. They doubled in size over the two weeks after this picture was taken. I was not able to get another picture before she passed...


This is my favorite picture of her...

Good-bye darling Rosy...
I'll miss your curiousness and the peek-a-boo games we played.
