Grim week


Are you dinner?

Pepper died today. She was hit by a car. Lorii's dad found her trying to drag herself home Yesterday. The vet showed us five fractures on the x-rays. The four points where the pelvis attaches to the spine and her hip joint. The vet felt it was worth seeing if there was any nerve damage to the bladder, but overnight she lost the use of her legs. So we decided to end her suffering. I'll miss her company on the walks to the post office and her squirmed greeting whenever I came home.
