So Sorry About Your Pet

My heart goes out to you over losing your cat. Scooter, my cat was with me all through the hardest part of my bc ordeal and we lost her a few months ago. She was 18 years old. Now my precious black Lab Dollie has a mass in her throat. She's 12 so I know it's not going to be long for her either. It's so sad because they do help us so much when there's no one else to cry with. We don't have to smile or keep up a brave appearance around them and they are so much comfort.
