We let Roo go this morning. It was difficult, but she was in pain: the lump grew so large that she couldn't keep both feet on the ground, and this morning her left foot was swollen and red. When she touched it, rolling over or grooming, she squealed. We were waiting for her to tell us it was time, and this was it.

Roo had such personality...she was curious and friendly. As tired and hurting as she must have been, even the vet and vet tech today saw how sweet she was.
