Princess Ivy Crankypants

born 8/1/08, gotcha day 12/16/08, passed away 1/9/24 

Mom got home after Christmas and Ivy had some swelling around her neck. Our vet wasn't available so to be careful, she checked in with a local urgent care vet and they did an ultrasound and diagnosed lymphoma. They did suggest a lot of things, but based on Ivy's age, mom opted to get some meds on board and take her home. 

We knew it was about buying time, but it turns out we only had a couple of weeks. Ivy stopped eating and just seem tired. Mom contacted our vet and was there with her for her last breath here. 

Ivy was a foster fail - she came to us with her momma and 4 sisters. 

Ivy is the one right in the middle.

She was the grand princess here for all 15 of her years. While she never tried to bite anyone, she was happy to growl at anyone who didn't make sure they respected her boundaries. She gave mom a run for her money when she was younger but mellowed with age. Though would still growl at the vet every time. 

We miss you Ivy.....
