Re: More Sad News
Oh, Andrea, I am sorry to hear about your Damescena. It is so hard to see
our pets go through so much. I'm happy that you have such a caring vet that
he would meet with you on a Sunday morning. If it is her time to move on,
just know that she was blessed with a wonderful home while she was here.
Enjoy the time you still have.
Kitty
