Farewell, Old Girl
Dolly
July 3, 2000 - July 23, 2007After battling diabetes for almost a year, my best girl, Dolly, finally succumbed to the disease. I have volumes to say concerning the thieving vets and the practice of veterinary medicine in general, but at the moment I just don't have it in me.
Dolly was a rescue, and at least I can say for the five years that I had her, she was loved and lived the life of Riley. You will be dearly missed, old girl.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I don't know which is worse, losing them slowly, or losing them suddenly. Either way sucks ass.
And I know what you mean about vets. Our local one is like the veterinary equivalent of Dr. Nick from "The Simpsons."
Thanks. Her breed(Bull Mastiff)only lives 7-8 years anyway, and for her to have been sick at the end made it worse. What really pisses me off is that the vets run all sorts of unnecessary tests to deliberately pad the bill when they know that the dog is going to die anyway. And to add insult to injury, they have a sign up by the receptionist that says "Ask us about our no interest payment plans". Fuck, you almost need to take a second mortgage to be able to pay. I'll be writing a scathing post a bout medicine in general very shortly.
