kate, that was a lovely post. You are so right ON with that last sentence. :-)
I am so so sorry for your loss. Try not to be angry, it is true that cancer at such a young age is rare and many vets would not have suspected that. My 3 year old lab went through "tests galore" last year as well with many specialists who could not figure out that it was cancer until it was too late, either. I made the same decision. You will come to peace with it soon, and in the meantime, know that the reason you had her for such a short time was to make that short time so wonderful.
This is so sad, and I am sorry you and your little dog had this happen. I send you my thoughts and my prayers.
Oh you and your poor little dog. :-( You are in my prayers.
Oh Sheila...I am Soooo sorry. I read your post many times, but could not think of an answer.....I too, have Bichons and that's what caught my eye. I will be praying for you and hope you can find comfort with the happier times....Please post again if you feel the need. We can also help with just support... God Bless you......Karla
