Sheba was about eight years old - so not really old enough that it was expected. But then, looking back on it, she'd always had some digestive problems and such, and they just seemed to get worse as she got older. I think the poor thing had had problems her whole life, they were just becoming more pronounced as time went on.

Yesterday we had our first confirmed death from corona in the county. I'm venturing out today to restock some of our supplies and I'm probably going to wear some latex gloves. I really don't want to bring this thing home.
