That is such a wonderful concept. And she got two good years ... I had my 13 yo Aby at the vet yesterday for a blood glucose curve and I mused that if I have him for another year I'll be pleased. My vet said he might make it to 18! Tonight when I get home we'll have some string cheese in memory of Gemma.
