My wife had a call from the vet this morning. Mabel is ill, possibly blood cancer; her red cell count very low 
Sue (wife) seems reconciled to having her euthanized later this week.

I'm sad to hear this. In the past I've had to make that terrible decision too. It is hard to let go, and for anyone who is a "pet person" it is like losing a member of your family. It is a gut wrenching decision, but in the end we have to consider the pet's current and future quality of life as well as how much pain and discomfort it is in.
