It’s hard to imagine life without your pet. But one day, the harsh reality hits you like a brick. You’ve been trying to ignore the signs and be positive but your pet’s health has started to decline.

We definitely skipped Spring and went straight to Summer this year! Although living in the Midwest all my life, this shouldn’t come as a surprise.
