Mae didn’t respond to treatment and died from cancer this morning. She went very fast. My husband and I are heartbroken. It’s going to be so tough tomorrow morning and her not being there waiting for petting and her breakfast.

Cookie stared and stared at Mae’s empty cage.

Necropsy already done, no surprises so far. Lab results in a week or two. The vet said everything points to the cancer developing recently and growing fast.

We really hoped the treatment would work and she’d be with us a while longer. We’re still in shock even though we knew it was bad.
