What a sad story. I am so sorry for your loss. I had a golden named Kimba that my husband bought me when we were dating. She got cancer in 1995, when she was 13 years old and we had to put her asleep. It was horrible. Kimba was our first child. We still talk about her all of the time. I knew I had to get another golden especially because I was pregnant with my third child. I didn't want to deprive the kids of having a pet. Well, Sammy got cancer when she was only 5 years old and passed away. That was all I could take. We haven't had another dog since.
Flash forward to Feb. 2005 on my 40th Birthday. I got my first little dog- a yorkie named Roxy Girl! My family and I couldn't be happier with our only little girl (she has 3 human brothers) The only problem is she started having seizures last night. She just had her 5th one at 7:00pm tonight. I wrote all about it in the "sick pet forum"
Good luck to you with your new baby. Say a prayer for my Roxy.
Roxy's Mom,
