[Quiet Man Cometh]

So Reyoki doesn't have to deal with depressingness.

That sounds rough, Kiddiss. It sounds like things are okay for now. Really, it all comes down to quality of life for the animal. If you are prepared to look after her and she still seems comfortable ane is enjoying life then there's no reason not to spend time with her.

My dog died at 13. (Quite old for the breed he was). The vet suspected it was probably stomache cancer after we did an ultrasound. He lost a bunch of weight over a period of a couple weaks and all but stopped eating. I was feeding him "soup" as well, cooked carrots, chicken, chicken broth and water. There were treatment options assuming we confirmed that it was cancer but as his age him even surviving the test was doubtful, and when I asked the vet if he would recover much, I was told he wouldn't be getting much better than he already was, which wasn't good, so we let him go.

Mom took me out afterwards but when I got home I started putting everything that was his away because I didn't want to be looking at it days down the road but not be able to do anything about it. I have a painting of him though, that hangs over the TV, it's from his show days, and I found it helped. I hung another photo of him in my room. He was with me for 13 years and while I didn't like looking at things like his bed or his food bowl, I still wanted to have his presence around. :).
