Well, Brandy (She was a tortuous (wrong word?) shell, and was really brownish and such, and looked like brandy does, lol) refused to die. She was pretty miserable by the end, arthritic, could barely go up and down stairs, was becoming slightly senile, and had problems regulating her bowels and such. She knew she was going, and wanted a lot of attention near the end, to the point where she got really annoying. It was really sad to see her like that though, because usually she was rather ill tempered, and all that.
We didn't want to see her suffer any more, so we had her put down.
