I’m one of those business owners who is in trouble with credit cards etc. I tried to pay for the diabetic dry food with the credit card and it would not go through. I was slightly over the limit.

So I took that as a sign from God that I was not to put any more money in this. That God gave Miss Peach a life and she could live out that life with me, I would care for her, but not use extreme measures to keep her alive.

So I am using diet, which is not good according to this vet, Fancy Feast, nothing in gravy and rice and lamb dry food with very little corn, and she seems to be doing fine. She has not changed her habits, still drinks a little extra water, but she still eats well and sleeps in her favorite places. She is still real cranky, but always was. Her weight is now down to 15 pounds.

My view of life for her is the same for me. Using insulin would not lengthen her life too much longer. And I do believe, maybe wrongly, that she could be at risk for an overdose.

There is no fixing the problem. If I were to get cancer, I would not go through chemo. etc. If there is little chance of fixing what is wrong, I would opt out.

She will be 15 years old on March 1. She still waits by the door to be fed, as I lock her in a porch so Bootsie won’t steal it. She sits on the arm of the recliner and watches NASCAR.

Thanks for asking. We are ok.
