Shasta had been fighting
spondylosis in her senior years which caused muscle wasting in her front
legs. After she developed pancreatitis in April, 2010, the spondylosis
seemed to accelerate affecting all her limbs. We had to make the very sad
decision to help her across the rainbox bridge in July, 2010. Even
though her spirit was still vibrant, her body had failed her to the point
where her quality of life ceased to exist.
