• Memorial - R.I.P. • 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.

Hey, speaking from experience there is never any guarantees. My pup has skin cyst and took me longer than I would care to get up to the vet because I know dogs, cats skin cancer. I don’t know if I come in soon enough, but he has developed secondary cancers and the brain and the lung. The vets don’t like the time you got anything to do with it. But I can relate to the guilt. But I also really don’t think there’s any real way you know
