[Dailydrool] Any Advice?

[B. Williams]

Our rescue, Cassie Mare' just celebrated her 11th birthday on Saturday. She was 
born with deformed hips, has been blind for 6 years, and she was also born 
without an ear drum in one ear, plus she barely hears out of her other ear. She 
has been such an inspiration in our lives, and many others who know her, or have 
read her stories in the Bugler over the years. She has also had two bouts with 
cancer, but just keeps going like that Energizer Bunny! She eats like a small 
horse, which I learned from her breeder is a family trait, but Cassie is not 
gaining any weight, just getting thinner. Even though we moved from the 
California high desert, she can't seem to handle the humidity at all this year 
here in Idaho, and it hasn't been that bad. Now she has started being more 
unable to hold her  bladder, and we can tell she is embarrassed about it, too. I 
guess my question to all out there is when do I know that it is time for her to 
get free of her maladies, and join her fellow friends at the bridge? I knew with 
our boy Harley, but he had been abused and after we gave him 4 years he wouldn't 
have had, he couldn't forget the pain he suffered before living with us. This 
little angel has been my life since she was delivered to our house 9 years ago, 
but I am hurting due to not wanting to do this too soon since she is still 
eating so well. If anyone has any advise, please E-mail me or LMK on here. I 
will call her Vet as soon as I can, but just wanted some thoughts from all of 
you great folks.

Thanks so much,
Barb Williams & Cassie Mare', too!
