The latest on Willow (not happy news, sorry) [View all]

Last edited Tue Mar 17, 2026, 04:05 PM - Edit history (1)

Since I last posted about Willow back in January, her condition has continued to decline. Some days are better than others, but none of them are great at this point. Mr. B and I have reluctantly decided to stop putting off the inevitable. We've scheduled a vet appointment for noon on Thursday.

I know it's going to be hard, and the reality hasn't fully hit me yet, but we're at peace with this decision. As much as we hate the thought of losing her, I feel like we've been gradually losing her little by little for months now. In a weird sort of way, it's a relief to know it'll be over soon, for her and for us.

Thank you all for your support. It is deeply appreciated!

P.S.Sorry about the duplicate post! I will leave it up since it got a couple of replies before I saw it.
