So, this is my baby, Pebbles.
Yesterday we had to get her euthanized.
For the past year, almost 2, she's had a mammary gland tumor growing bigger and bigger.
She was born in 2005, so she was already 8 by the time the tumor started at the size of a quarter. They told us that even if we did have the money to get the tumor removed, there was only a 30-40% chance she'd live through it. They also told us that so long as she wasn't in pain, she could continue living out her life with it anyway.
So, we decided to let her live with it and not take our chances.
She lived for almost two years without it causing her any pain or problems.
But, this past week, she stopped eating. She stopped playing. She stopped being hyper, etc etc. She was finally feeling pain, and by this time it had torn through her skin and the bleeding was getting really bad.
We had a vet come to our home and put her at ease. She will be cremated and kept with the rest of our closer family's ashes.
She lived to be 10 years old, and I've had her since I was 8 years old. She was such a sweetie pie, and I miss her so much. I spent all day yesterday just crying so much my eyes hurt. The house really isn't the same without her around.
I'm happy she's no longer in pain, but I'm still gonna miss her. :T
