Death in the family

I just had to put my cat, Shelly, down. She's been my companion for over ten years.

She has had a few tumors removed in the last year, but this time the cancer had spread into her lungs. It came on suddenly. My son saw her this morning and she was apparently OK, but by 2 PM when I came in, she was having great trouble breathing.

The vet was quick and kind. She is beyond pain now, gone wherever loyal companions go.
