I'd like to think Ivy had a reprieve, but she hasn't eaten for about 5 days, hasn't had water since yesterday morning, and can't get up. She "wet the bed" and was mortified. She has just been fading over the past week, and as long as she doesn't seem to be in pain, we decided to keep her comfy and just let her stop ticking.

(I sound very matter of fact, but haven't been able to stop crying for two days. My eyeballs look like a Halloween disguise. And if anybody sends me "the Rainbow Bridge", I'll get even somehow.)

Thanks for letting me vent.
