Took her in for a routine blood sugar test since I knew they would be closed tomorrow. Three hours later I was putting her down on her birthday. She was in kidney failure. Im still a little stunned. Anyway she was a real trooper. Abandoned. Rescued. Diabetes set in. Shots every day. Blind. Deaf. She even fell down the stairs once and was fine. Didnt even yelp. She was so damn grateful to have people who cared about her. I miss her so much already. RIP Jules.

Damn that's rough man, my sympathies for you and your family. It was around this time 4 years ago my dog Maja died in her sleep out of no where and I still get choked up talking about her and shed a tear on occasion. I still look at her urn on occasion and wonder if I had the same impact on her as she had on me. She was from a somewhat similar situation, we got her from an abusive owner, but thankfully she had such a big heart that she accepted us very quickly and we had her for a good long time. Pets, and in my case especially dogs, are such amazing things that can give your life so much joy with so little effort. Really can't wait to get out of my current living situation and getting another dog to add to my experiences and memories with.
