{ More cancer in my family }

Well, cancer not only takes the lives of millions of loved ones, they also take the lives of family pets. My families sweet dog, Australia, passed away this morning from what might have been liver cancer. Aussie was apart of my family for 13 years. She was the most wonderful and lovable dog. She is going to be missed.
Just another thing that cancer has taken away.

With eye upraised his master's look to scan, The joy, the solace, and the aid of man: The rich man's guardian and the poor man's friend, The only creature faithful to the end.

I lost my first 2 cats to leukemia in high school. One was my brothers and the other was mine. When mine passed, I missed 2 weeks of school, I was devastated.

I am so sorry for you loss, beautiful dog!
