I cannot imagine committing to buy a puppy without seeing the animal and if possible the sire and dam. OTOH, a rescue (or adoption of an older dog) is a different thing. My last two Basenjis came to me sight unseen, and turned out to be wonderful dogs, but the breeders I got them from wanted to place their dogs in an experienced Basenji home, and I only paid the cost of getting the dogs to me. One came by air, one was personally transported to me by his breeder. If she hadn't been happy with what she found I expect she would have taken him back with her when she left. I also had to commit to return him if ever I couldn't keep him. Good breeders care about where their dogs end up.

So sorry to hear thatā¦
-
Spot does not seem to be in any pain and spends most of the day sleeping in his favorite sunny place. Our vet says her measure of quality of life is that the they are spending at least 50% of their time doing the things they love. Right now he is doing that but I know that can change quickly so we will just treasure the time we have.

Hope Spot is ok, my thoughts are with you. It's terrible when our Pets are ill.

Lisa I am so sorry about Spot's diagnosis. I will be sending positive thoughts that Spot will be as happy and painfree as possible. hugs
-
I am so sorry. I hope Spot is able to be comfortable and happy for a good while. Getting the fluid off probably has let him breathe better and feel more normal. Good thoughts headed your way.

I'm sorry to hear about your kitty - I hope you get to spend some quality time with him and that he is more comfortable for now.

My prayers to you and your family.

Sorry to hear about the diagnosis. Hope you all have some lovely quality time together.

I'm praying that nothing changes and that Spot can just peacefully snooze into the last sleep. No matter how inevitable, it is never easy at the last. I do pray for Spot and you.

Happy thoughts being sent towards your family and Spot.
