I never wanted to post in this section, but I lost my best friend today.
I got Comet when I was in kindergarten and she went all through high school with me, even half of college. In the last two weeks her old teeth got severely infected and she had surgery to remove the sixteen that were causing problems...but at nearly fifteen years old, she couldn't recover. We waited a week hoping she'd come around, but we finally had to put her down today.
I sat with her last night and I could see she wanted to get up, she wanted to eat and drink, she wanted to live. We thought she wouldn't even be here today, but as usual she was a fighter and made it through another night. I think she had a will to live, she wanted to stay, but her body just couldn't keep up with her this time.

RIP Comet
