On a personal note, my wife and I just left Boomer at the vet hospital. Boomer is 12 years old and celebrated his 12th anniversary with us on December 2. Since we were never able to have children, Boomer was our first four-legged child. It will be hard to imagine life without Boomer so we are hoping for the best.
So sorry to hear about Boomer. My wife and I have had dogs (rescues) for years, experienced all the emotions and understand your concerns and feelings. We’re not religious but do sent our very best to Boomer and wish him a speedy recovery. Happy holidays….
