Last weekend, after several weeks of gradual decline, my wife's first pet, Stella, was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma - it's essentially untreatable, and generally results in massive internal bleeding and a host of other very traumatic issues for the dog in very short order, so we took her home and made the decision to say goodbye to her tomorrow. She's 15 (Stella, not my wife
) though, so she's had a really good run, and this is the kind of dog that would much rather stop wasting away and move on to whatever comes next than go out in confused agony in week or two anyway. We spent yesterday taking some pictures of her, and I want to share them. Thanks for taking a second and looking.
