My lab is 9 so hopefully he has another good 5 or 6 years him. The thought of saying goodbye is tough and I'll probably need a few days to recover.
I know someone who spent $20,000 on cancer treatments which went nowhere, and while I didn't say anything to them I felt bad for the dog who had to keep on living a shitty life because of a human's selfishness. For one thing, I don't have $20k laying around -- and even if I did I wouldn't use it to extend a pet's life. I love my boy, but I can always get another one that looks just like him.
