I am so sorry you lost your husband so suddenly as well. Cancer is so horrific in its silent and deadly approach. I felt like I barely had time to say goodbye. My poor husband didn't get a chance as he had stayed home with the kids, convinced I was overreacting again (I did bring Scrappy to the vet and the ER vet multiple times whenever I saw him acting peculiar, like when he sprained a muscle jumping off the bed, got an insect sting that caused him to limp, etc.).

I feel like my experience with Scrappy prepared me to be a better parent and am so grateful to have had him in my life. Dogs really do play a special role in our lives but it's so sad that their life spans are so short compared to ours.

Thanks for reading and commenting!
