Hey, a few years with your favorite pet is often worth it - if you can afford it!

My oldest cat, Nrpl (rhymes with purple) has had 13 years of perfect health, then a tumor developed on her foot.
Got the tumor whacked off, but found out that she's diabetic! Now I give her a shot of insulin every 12 hours.

Pretty crazy, but that's what you do for a beloved pet I guess. At least, that's what I do.
