I wouldn’t have it any other way though. 2 old girls.

My Roxy is 14 and has Grade 3 cancer. Chemo would take more from her than it would give, so soon I’ll have to make the hardest decision: take away her pain and carry it myself. I don’t want another dog. The thought of loving someone this much and facing this kind of goodbye again feels impossible. And I can’t grieve her while she’s still here, but the truth is, I’m scared. I’m so scared. Ten years ago, I rescued Roxy from being euthanised. She’d been rehomed seven times and somehow still had so much love left to give. I chose her then, and now I have to choose her again. This time, choosing her means letting her go before the pain takes more than it should. I don’t know how to make peace with that yet. I just know what an extraordinary ten years we’ve had. She probably won’t make it to my birthday or Christmas, but I hope with everything in me that she makes it to hers. For now, I’m going to love her through every ordinary, precious day we still have. She was worth rescuing then. She’s worth every heartbreak now.
