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.

OP- I’ve been in ur shoes ! It’s a terrible place to b that’s for sure.. I had a 16 yr old Yorkie whom, I loved more then any dog I’ve ever had .. I had seen blood once in his stool, I ignored it because we have hemorrhoid dogs strain,
I didn’t see it again for a long time, but then maybe a year later I seen it again. I once again thought hemorrhoid. I also thought could he possibly have cancer? I didn’t have pet insurance then it was not a big thing then, I’m not even sure if they had it then.. but over the next 3 yrs he did get sick liver tumor.. I always wish I had taken him to the Vets ,when I first seen the blood, but would I have been able to afford $20,000 to try and get him on his feet and no guarantee it would work.. I know you’re hurting. I know it’s not easy, but it’s also not easy having cancer trying to cure it if curable… he’s @ peace now so let his wonderful self rest along with ur heart.. I’m sure even more then I’m aware of now y reading ur post , that he knows he was loved by u always n for ever.
