One of my folks’ two dogs and the cat (who is almost 18 years old but looks half that) are in a similar situation. Only weeks left at best, maybe just days. The real sad bit is that the dogs are siblings and the one who lives longer is gonna be so lonely.
True, that’s gonna be tough. Hope they sign a pact or sumtin’ and go out together. One of my favourite (and saddest) films as a kid was Where the Red Fern GrowsWhere the Red Fern Grows (1974) - IMDb
