This week I learned that my BFFFB. best friend forever fur baby, of 16 years has an aggressive oral tumor that would be very difficult to treat, so I have decided on palliative care until it's her time to be released from this body and this dimension. Despite the many challenges that have occurred over the last 10 years, this one hurts so deeply. Gigi has been my constant companion and an immense source of comfort, laughter and joy. It was love at first sight. She has always been a diva and a clown and I know she has hung on to get me through. We have needed each other. I have so much gratitude for her and the time and love we share. ❤️❤️‍🩹
