I'm so sorry to hear about Sadie - I haven't checked in here for some time but saw your sad message today. I hope the rest of you are doing okay although I'm sure you miss her tremendously. Your story is especially heartbreaking as our eldest Booker had a very similar emergency back in November as well, also requiring emergency surgery for a burst spleen, and we were prepared by the vet to receive the same devastating news you received about dear Sadie so that we might well have to let her go then and there. She pulled through, though - and is doing fine several months later - as they amazingly did not find the cancer they expected to when they did the surgery (the cause of the burst spleen remains unknown). I so wish you could have had the same result with Sadie.
