What made you sad today...

Having to make the decision to let my BearBear pass on to the other side.

He was always healthy, never sick a day in his short life, then on Christmas Eve he dropped. Refused food and would just stay on his bed, no energy whatsoever and that was not like him. Turns out he had developed a rare form of anemia that does just that; take a healthy animal and drops them. This anemia caused his immune system to attack his red blood cells, killing them off as his body struggled to make more. The treatment choices were not good and his chances of survival so slim that I had to make the choice to have him put down today.

Those who know me, know he was my right arm and my heart as he was also my medical alert service dog. I am lost without him.
