Sympathies

My mom's oldest dog passed about a week ago. I felt I needed to make her a card. Maddie was a rescue puppy and about 8 years old when we got her. A couple years later, we found a lump on her chest, took her to the vet & had it removed...breast cancer. About a year later, we had to have it removed again because it had come back with avengence.
We thought we had it all....Nope. It had been spreading throughout her insides all this time. One day, my mom came home from work to find Maddie struggling to breath. She took her to the 24hr vet & they took x-rays finding it all. It had mets around her trachea (causing the problems). Surgery would kill her, she was already 12. Instead of torturing her through the pain of surgery, we had to put her down.
We all have so many memories of Maddie, hence some things on the inside might not make perfect sense. But I love it and can't wait to hear what she thinks of it.
