9. I delayed euthanasia as long as I could

Dec 2013

when my almost 13-year-old Rottweiler was so sick with bone and liver cancer. She had her good days and I thought maybe the medication was helping. I loved that dog so much and did not want to let her go. But the bone cancer got so bad that she could not walk any longer, so I knew it was time. It is heartbreaking because it is just like losing your child.
