November and Im Grateful for My Sisters

We've had alot of mishaps and misfortuntes the last few months. We've been able to struggle over and through most of them.
This one has hit us veryhard and Im worried about how we'll carry on.

Our big sister Duchess is not very healthy. She has had severe arthritis for many months now and her last Dr.s appointment yeilded some verydisturbing news. She now has bonecancer and worse yet, . . . it has spread into her lungs. She was taking Deramax for her arthritis and pain relief but now is on Tramadol twice a day as well.

Our hearts hurt for her. We love her. She has become the part of our family we had been looking for. She completes us. There is the reason we are fighting so hard along side of her to keep her strong and beside us.
She deserves to have our extra strength. It's what we would want for us, and there is nothing that will come between us. So today as any other day has begun the last few months, we carry her outside for a bit of fresh air and a piddle. She slowly wobbles to the mountain ash tree with me and we nibble the fallen berries like we did the first winter she arrived. When we've had our fill, daddy will carry her back to the house and onto her mat by the heat vent and tehre she will sleep until mom comes home to repeat the process over again.

On days when the ground is damp and cold mom will place your comfy mat on your plastic sheet so you can rest in the sun in comfort.
We Love you Duchess Sammy and we are by your side!
