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.....

Vet School Update

The LSU Vet School has been very apologetic about their gross error. While I wish I could turn back time and have them undo their mistake, I know that such thinking is futile. Kudos to Kat and Jeff for their counsel and support. Kudos to me for letting go of the anger.
The Vet School is going to place a memorial brick in the Womack Serenity Garden for Lily. I get to suggest what it read. I settled on:
LILITH
BEST DOG EVER
1998 - 2008
