Pooh Bear died tonight. She was 10.
It happened so quickly too. At first, we noticed that she ws losing weight. We just thought it was her being old, since she wasn't acting any weirder than usual. Then, a couple days ago, she started hiding in this big pile of junk in the basement. I was really nervous about her, since she wouldn't even come out for food. So my Mom and I went downstairs and found her all the way in the back of the pile. I took her out, she was nothing but skin and bones and was breathing weird. I handed her to my Mom, who brought her upstairs, but when we went to put her down, she couldn't even stand. We rushed her to an emergency vet and they put her in an oxygen cage. She got a little better, but when they took her out so we could see her, she went back to the way she was before. They took her into the back, and a few minutes later, the Vet came out and told us that she was dying and that we should be with her. So, they took her into a room and laid her on the table. We were petting her and loving her until the end. The Vet told us that her heart gave out due to old age and that there was nothing we could've done. That still doesn't change the fact that my Bear is gone.
Rest in peace Bear Mama.
