thank you jessie,
Your kind words mean so much, it is overwhelming to think that I made a bad decision all those months ago. I even kinda dissed the first vet who told me it was cancer becasue the specialty hospital said it wasn't, not on xray presentation, not on needle biopsy, not on surgical biopsy. worst of all, I know how painful cancer is and to think scout went through months of pain becasue I couldn't decide what to do.....
Now the cancer grade is high, I know from experience the the world unfolds exactly like it is supposed to, but gosh, I'm tired.
I know you are going through your own sorrow right now. I am so sorry about genie, this is a sad week at the tripawd website.
Lauren, scouts mom

Oh Lauren and Scout, we are so sorry to hear this news. But please please please don't beat yourself up, you did your best with the information you had at the time. You have every right to feel what you're feeling, of course, but try to keep focused on the moment at hand and doing what's best for Scout with what you now know.
Like my friend Doug B says,
"Live with balance. The list of what went “right” with my life is so much bigger than the list of what went “wrong.”
"Live with Presence! Don’t despair about yesterday. Don’t fear tomorrow. Otherwise, you’ll miss out on the Gift of Today."
I know, easier said than done, but please know that we are thinking of you and sending our love your way. Keep us posted and let us know if there's anything we can do to help.
Love
Jerry
