My beloved black shark has to have one, possibly two toes removed and while her lungs are clear π€π», she's facing that diagnosis we all dread. She's one of the last links to my brother David who died in January and her pictured companion, I lost in October.
I won't say I can't bear it, because I think we all know how damn hard life can be sometimes, it's just that I can't bear it.
So here's my hope, that as we all send our good thoughts and kind words and for some of us, prayers, to one another, that my beloved Shelly can tag along for the ride.

I want to thank everyone of you for your kindness...
It's been such a rough year for all of us, human and animal alike. The great gift of animals is the absolutely unconditional love they give us. For myself, I know what a grump I can be, how sometimes the pity party is too tempting to leave or the losses just seem to go on and on.
But, the joy and love that animals provide, the incredible trust they show
us, all without that human counterpart, is so precious that the possibility of losing one of them feels like a failure on my part.
It feels very important to do all I possibly can for Shelly... and knowing how many of us here take comfort in our beloved companions helps so much to ease the burden.
I just wish I could spare her the sadly ridiculous cone of shame!
