Dealing with a recent cat cancer diagnosis. He’s only 10 years old, hopefully the medication will help keep him comfortable!

Best wishes. I know it's not the same, but my 9 year old dog was diagnosed with terminal bone cancer and given 6 months to live. We were heartbroken. She lived another 3 1/2 healthy years.

Thank you siggy, that does give me hope. I’m making it a priority to enjoy as much time with him as I can, every day is a gift

That's all you can do. As a pet lover every heartbreak I say never again, but I'm not happy without at least a dog and a cat in my life. People? Not so much. :)

I want to have a dog at some point in my life but it's not easy to tell if I am ready for it.

I asked the local animal shelter if I can walk some dogs to get experience but they only want experienced dog walkers since their dogs aren't easy to handle :(

It sounds silly but getting a dog changed my life. I was in my late 20s, having too much fun and no responsibilities. Getting that dog made me a caregiver to another being. I had to tend to her needs. Feeding, walking, etc. It made me more reliable and productive. The wild card is how much you wind up loving the critter.

Good luck. We just lost our dog recently. I feel for you.
