Every Christmas and birthday from this point on was a gift. Her body slowly started to give further to age, despite her desire for snacks.

**If you're easily distraught, don't continue reading from this point as it will describe Aurora's last day.**

Her final day was a mix of good and bad. The past few years she'd gotten a cough around this time of year from the cold. Her body was already in pain from those causing muscle spasms.

It was around 11:30 AM US/CT when I realized the coughing had changed. It was difficult for her to lay down without a wheezy cough attack. I'd give her some coughing medicine in peanut butter and turned on the humidifier which seemed to help.

She would sleep until around 1 PM US/CT. I'd warm up some ham and give it to her to see if it would help her clear her throat. Megan would get home around 1:20 PM US/CT and she'd give Aurora her "I'm home!" bacon snack.

While Megan and I were eating lunch, I began to notice Aurora stumble, but she was still sitting on the ground next to me begging for a chicken nugget, which I'd give her - something I haven't done in a very long time.

After she ate it, we noticed an odd expression on her face, one that worried me to the point we rushed her to the vet. When we got to the vet, I was hold Aurora in the back of Megan's crossover, and I remember Aurora looking back at me with an expression I can't really put into words.
