Karen, I am sorry you lost your Kamina. She sounds like she was such a darling.
My vet once said to me that it seems like the special, "good" ones get the awful
cancers, while the ornery, nasty dogs live forever. I don't know if this is true
or not, but it sure seems that way. Regardless of length of time they are with
us, though, the special ones leave such a profound mark on our hearts. It is
clear Kamina was very special. My thoughts are with you.

to the emergency vet. hospital and considered all of the options but opted for
"quality of life". I didnt' want her to die alone in ICU going through a bunch
of test. With her weakened heart, even though she was such a little figher the
prognosis wasn't good. She came into my arms after the examination with her
tail wagging and we cuddled for a while and then....goodbye my little heart.
