She still loved to play with her brothers and sisters and she had a tremendous appetite. Eventually, her little heart gave out and we did not regret not giving her that surgery.
Thanks for this post. I think we will continue the way things are. Mr Buster is otherwise healthy, but at 18, it might be the best to let well enough alone.
