Phoebe came into our family at 6 weeks old. She loved playing in the water, chasing leaves blowing through the air, her bed, and eating. She was a gentle soul, and a very good girl. She lost her hearing around the age of 12, but was still very good-natured. She loved people, and people loved her.

When she refused to eat one night and the next morning, I took her to the vet. Anemic, partially dehydrated, enlarged heart, possibly a mass. She had two seizures, couldn't get to her feet, couldn't keep her balance, and it was scaring her. It turns out she had hemangiosarcoma as well as spots on her liver. The cancer was everywhere. She was euthanized at 10 pm CST April 2, 2021, in my embrace. She was my best friend, and will be missed terribly.

Gravesite Details

Note from her vet: A tumor in the heart with fluid (likely blood) in the sac around the heart. That makes the heart not able to pump efficiently. When I asked what kind of tumor, Dr said most likely is a hemangiosarcoma.
