I lost my best friend in February. I found out she was sick in January and was told she would survive for a few more years if I put her on a special diet. No cause for alarm. Everything would be fine.

            Not even a month later she died in my arms.

I could save her – potentially – if I had 4000 dollars and a car to drive 3 hours away to a vet who would keep her for ten days. Maybe that will work.

            Just maybe she’ll live.

            It’s her best shot.

            The only thing echoing in my head: “I don’t want her to die alone.”
