My big old girl Roxy is not doing so well, she is a huge Coonie and is nearly 18 now but still my big baby.
She has got inoperable tumours and now it seems that her back legs are getting really weak, it breaks my heart to see her like this but she is not in any pain and is still eating/drinking and has the odd play with the young ones. I suppose the best description would be the "Matriarch" (sp)
I think that maybe deep down I am preparing myself for the inevitable, but can you really prepare?
