In the morning I was watering the plants in the backyard when I suddenly recognized the intense smell of a dead animal. I looked underneath the house and there she was.



I knew that this was the place she preferred to hide and I looked there a thousand times but because of her dark fur I never discovered her. There was no obvious cause of death so I opened her body. The 'only' but absolutely deadly reason for her death was blood in the pericardium and some blood in her lungs as well. What ever the cause of the heart sac tamponade was - she didn't suffer long and I wouldn't have been able to help her. Although I'm infinite sad I'm relieved as well.
