In March, Feral and Jen hitched a ride to town with the Youngs for a visit with the vet. We have been having trouble getting Feral to eat and she has lost a lot of weight. Unfortunately, it turns out that Feral is undergoing kidney failure at 16 years of age. She and Jen flew back to the lodge on a float plane and we've been enjoying our time with her ever since. She isn't in any pain, isn't enthusiastic about eating, but still seems to enjoy life and has her frisky moments.

Feral on watch! (We've got a pretty nice view here).
We call this "Feral's Perch" on the deck rail.
