This holiday is a sad one for me, and not one I celebrate. As a few years ago, on Victoria day, I had to rush my second dog to emergency. It was there the vet misdiagnosed her with a terminal illness. It ended up with her being euthanized........I'll never forgive myself for not getting a second opinion, or for not doing more.

 I had gotten that sweet dog from a rescue group, and she had been through so much by the time I had gotten her. She travelled from another country to Ontario, then to here, Halifax. She had been used as a breeder in a puppy mill and came to me with a few health issues, some we caught and treated, others were obviously not diagnosed properly. She was also scarred, one scar was in her eye, which led to her developing glaucoma, which eventually took her sight. Btw, Cullen/Webb eye specialists in Moncton, are some of the best vets I've come across..... She was a dream dog, as far as personalities go, and deserved so much more than she had experienced in her life....I only got to spend 4 years with her and I hope there is a heaven for dogs, if any derserves one, she does. RIP sweet girl.....
