Perdix, grand old lady

Had a difficult day with her today. We wondered if the cancer had broken through as there was blood in her mouth this morning. She still came for a walk with us - not too far - has eaten her supper and has sat in the kitchen this evening grooming herself. We fear the day is looming .... any pet owner will understand how hard it is to judge when the time is right ...
