Unreasonable fears

As you may or may not know, my beloved pitbull mix Lillith died on May 3rd. She was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma on April 29 while getting her teeth cleaned. My rottie mix Cixous really needs her teeth cleaned. They are gross. I don't want periodontal disease to kill her. However, I am a little gun shy about having her get her teeth cleaned. This is an unreasonable fear. I get those.
I know that the association between teeth cleaning and doggy diagnosis of death is tangential at best. There is a correlation of one and no causality. Unless of course Cixous reacts to the anesthesia and dies on the table. It does not help to tell myself this. I would hate an ironic death. So she is getting her teeth cleaned on Wednesday, July 2. It will be just fine.....

Forgiving the Unforgivable

So let's say you had a wonderful loved one that suddenly passed away. Okay, now lets say that you had him or her put down.... humanely and by professionals. The loved one is a dog. Then the same professionals lost your beloved dog's ashes. Actually, they lost the paperwork that was attached to the corpse of said doggie and therefore disposed of her remains e.g., threw her away. Now the paperwork to bill for the private cremation remained and was properly processed. Hence the title of this blog.... so how do I forgive the unforgivable?
