Nonie,

So sorry that you lost your Ashlee. Our little Vixen has cancer and is not doing well. We will have to put her down soon. She has tumors in her breasts. They told us she might not live as long because we had bred her for a few years. She is also pretty deaf. She is 14 though, so she has had a good life. Prancer is 15 and is very arthritic and almost blind. We can't get him to take the pills for his pain. We will probably put them down at the same time because he will be so unhappy if she is gone. They would never be able to make the move with us anyway, it would be too hard on them. Such a hard decision to let them go, but I know it's the right thing to do for them.
