Nice to meet you π
You too dear. Iβm praying for you and for your girl. Allow yourself to cry all you want, I still cry. Look at all of your photos with her, hug her blanket or something that was hers. She loves you, just as you love her.

Thank you so much π« we lost her brother last year and then she got sick, I feel like I didn't digest any of it yet. It'll take some time, they were my family for more than a decade.
I hope you'll be better soon, too.
Oh, wow, I'm sorry for your loss. Two in two years is brutal.
Yes. :( Both with sickness it was like 12 months of constant worries and vet visits. Really draining
Yeah, mine died of leukemia. Hard to watch them suffer, like that.
Fuuck. I didn't even know that is a thing with animals. Sorry to hear that. With mine it was brain tumors. Confirmed with my other cat (his name was Brain, ironically).
And Pinky had the exact same symptoms, and she was still fit as a fiddle a year ago, so I think I won the lottery and had two brain tumors there.
Felt like shit too because you can see their personality just withering away slowly.
Cancer is a fucking bitch.
I guess, in the wild they don't get old enough to get old age diseases, so they at least had more time.
True, but no kind of cancer is an old age disease in my understanding.
But also vets tell us to feed our babies such shit food and now Iβm seeing so many people bringing up valid points that this is like a human eating from a can everyday, cancer will come. With age my girl started to have many health issues so in her last two years I decided to say fuck the vets and I started cooking for her. She go so much younger looking and healthier, but I think internally so much damage had been done with shit chemical foods that this cancer was building up and there was no way to reverse it. π
That's interesting, I only was asked once by a vet what food I give and I said "store food" and they gavee a look that guilt tripped me for days. Doesn't help right now either tbh π But that's what I did. I tried different types though to not get them used to a company ..
Idk, I can't even cook for myself and only eat trash. 4/5 racoon score π
Yeah when my little angle came into my life I was literally just eating cereal and smoothies so I had no idea what was even healthy for myself, but I was taking her to the vet every month just to do checks on this or that (1st time mom I was just over protective) and each time the vets would make sure Iβm giving her this special kibble for her specific breed. Not once did a vet say, actually itβs healthier to feed her liver, eggs and chicken heartsβ¦ I only recently discovered this (2 years ago). That was also around the time I started eating healthier myself.
Hopefully I'll do better next time. If I learn to cook til then
Mine got some canned meat sometimes, but mostly dry food. That was a mistake, as dogs are carnivores, but I never had any vet mention it.
π
I am 100% prepared to be a better dog mom when it comes to the food and not giving kibble or canned food, I will make the effort to cook for my baby. The only thing holding me back is that Iβm not sure Iβll ever be able to love another soul the way I loved my girl, she was my match 100% and Iβll feel bad if I donβt love the next as much.
I'm sure you'll both do better.
It's sort of like the way our mothers' generation didn't breastfeed. They didn't do it on purpose, they just didn't know there was a reason to do it and the experts were like, Oh, that's old fashioned. Everyone just uses formula.
Live and learn. π€·πΌββοΈ

To explain raccoon score.. 
My little girl also passed away from cancer ππ« the vet told me that with this treatment she was doing there was a 1% chance she would live and I just stuck to the idea that she was going to be this 1% that survived. Because of that I was not treating everyday like the last, I wish I had faced reality and just literally cancelled any dinner plans or anything that took me away from her during her last few months. When her time came I was in such denial that I could not even understand what the vet was telling me that day. Cancer is such a fucking bitch ππ I still miss my soulmate every second of everyday. I really wish I had just a few more days to do nothing but cuddle.
Girls, Iβm sending you so many hugs and thinking of our babies that gave us unconditional love all the way to their last days.
