Hey there!! I am a 22 years old business student at Douglas college, new Westminister campus. I have been a dog's parent myself too."Fluffy" was a pomeranian who passed away due to aging. I love having dogs around. I also do community service and pet care activities. I think, i can speak dog language!! And i cry when i see puppy face, i know they want food. Dogs are better than humans!! I know you're a tough person, if you've survived that emotional phase when you get to know your pet has just few days left on earth. I and my family been through it, i understand how it feels. Don't worry, i and your dog are gonna be best friends, hahah i know that would sound cheezy to him/her.
