My elder dog is getting to that place and I can honestly say, this would be 1000 times harder if my vet wasnt so kind, patient and compassionate. They have gone above and beyond to make her time, whatever is left, good for her. And seeing as she is the best most sweet dog ever, it means the world.

(2) Think of all the better possible uses!!

Today, Kristi Noem refused 6 times to apologize or admit she was wrong when she publicly cast Renee Good and Alex Pretti -- both fatally shot by her DHS agents -- as "domestic terrorists."
βYou told a lie about them!β Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) fumed.

Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.
Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists?
Noem: My condolences to their families
Raskin: You lied about them.
