34. i am poor and have big medical expences myself
my dog sport and i came down with cancer at the same time at one point and we both went through chemo together.
6 treatments for him -- a thousand bucks a pop. that was when he was 11 -- in january he will turn 15{that's when i found him -- i don't know his actual birthday}. he is part of me -- and i would give anything for my furry friends. their lives are in my care -- and while there might be suffering involved in getting better -- it's my responsibility to advocate for his life as long as i don't bargain for prolonged suffering with no way out.
i tried too hard to save the life of my yorkie and bothers me all the time -- i still would have tried very, very hard to save him -- but would have tried to get a clearer answer sooner. he needed the help of a specialist that i didn't get soon enough -- kidney failure was his problem. but i must tell you i miss him{my feet especially} every day. and that was four years ago.
peace and love to all our dear, loving non-human companions.
