Reminds me of my buddy. He had cancer but loved me so much. He kept me going when my wife died.

Everyone loves puppies but seeing an old dog walking in the park melts my heart.

I adopted a very aggressive senior shih tzu with cataracts about two years ago, life changing amount of love shes given and received!

I finally saved up enough money to perform cataract surgery (pending she passes tests to ensure she can handle being put under anesthesia) in the middle of november.

wish us luck!

Such is the reward for the duty and privilege to care for them as they do you. Dogs and humans. name a more symbiotic pair, I dare you. And now I cry for those passed and missed.
