The vet is going to get the biopsies from Stinky today. She has lost so much weight. Apparently Stinky is older than I thought she was. My brother found her as a stray and he took her in. He loved her so much. She would know when it was time for him to get home from work and would be at the door waiting on him. He lived by himself and she was his best buddy. I don't know why he thought of the name Stinky. From the moment I got her I showered her with all the love I could give her. We put a picture of her up at his grave. I just pray she can overcome this and come home. Please keep her in your prayers.
