Dear Kim,
I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your shelty. It is so sad when it is time for them to go. She had a long life with someone who obviously loved her very much, you did all you could for her. I think it's not fair that we love our pets so much and they don't live a long life . Just remember she's not in pain anymore.
I hope you have good luck with disability. I wasn't allowed ssi because I didn't work enough hour and didn't have enough $ taken out even though I worked there for 29 years!! I'm trying to find out if I can get any kind of assistance with insurance through medicaid?? Well just wanted to say I'm sorry and you will be in my prayers. Jeannie
