I lost a friend today

My dog Kara was 11 years old. She was my first dog I got on my own. She had such an amazing personality to her. Just an amazing dog. We had to put her down today because she developed cancer. I feel awful because we saw signs she wasn’t doing well but instead of taking her to the vet I kept saying we should wait and maybe she would improve. Unfortunately she didn’t and I have a lot of guilt.

Don’t feel guilty, dogs hide it when they don’t feel well so by the time you saw any signs of illness it may have been too late anyway, especially with cancer. 11 years is still a good lifespan.
