It's been a while, folks. With a heavy heart I'm sad to say that Kaia has been diagnosed with metastatic cancer. Angiosarcoma. She has been given 2 more weeks with us if the universe allows it. The tumors have spread from her spleen to her liver and kidneys. One has ruptured and the vet said she could go at any time from merely sneezing or walking up and down steps, getting into the car, etc. I only noticed due to her distended tummy but otherwise most cases go unnoticed until their passing so I am grateful I at least get these last special moments with her. She is my world and I am struggling to cope. She is only 9 and won't even make it to her 10th birthday. Rescuing her 8 years ago was the best decision I ever made. She's not in pain, the vet said she's still her spunky self and hopping around.
Kaia, I wish I had forever with you. You rescued me more than you will know. I love you to death and wish it was me instead of you. I love you so much. This is so difficult.
