Styx joined our family in February of 2007, and added a great deal of fun and joy to the house. Watching her run, chase worms, wrestle with bathmats and sass the cats were the highlights of every day.
In July of 2009, she underwent surgery to remove two cancerous tumors and recovered beautifully, but last month I started to notice a slight wobble in her walk. Within a week she was unable to walk more than a few steps without falling to her side and struggling to get up, and by last week she couldn't walk at all.
Below is a picture of her on her last night with us; so frustrated and tired, she didn't even want to eat. We knew it was time to say goodbye.
I held her and kissed her and told her what a good girl she was, and how much I loved her.
She is now resting in what is soon to be a beautiful flower bed right outside our front door.
We miss you, Styxie. You are loved.
