She is about 12 1/2 and just some days, more commonly now that its hotter out, she just gives me this look of "Oh come on, I can't keep living like this." Like she wishes to "give in." I get teared up just thinking about it. My family adopted her, a one & a half year old German shephard pup, in the summer of '95. I was about 6 & a half yrs., 1st grade. I am now 17 3/4 and am a Sr. in high school. She was diagnosed with pannus, a chronic inflammation of the corneal surface & in most cases, the conjunctiva of the eye, when she was about 7 yrs I guess. Sam is my first pet, my first dog, MY FIRST BEST FRIEND. I've had other pets that have died during Sam, but when I lose Sam, I'll lose a big piece of my heart. I will be a total wreck w/out her. I've heard its best to get another dog right away and keep busy, but I feel that'll deprive me of time used for grieving period. I owe it to her, but its going to be so painful. I know shes not going to make it through this hot summer.
