Jason's Blog - 01/2012

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of Niña's passing. After a long life of nearly 16 years, of which she spent the last 8 with us, we had to put her down on Thursday morning. She had been in decline for nearly a year, when she first developed some GI problems. About a month ago, she mostly stopped eating, but did not appear to be in pain and continued to interact with us normally. My hope was that nature would take its course, and we could avoid having to make a difficult decision. However, on Wednesday night, she woke us up in the middle of the night howling.
