Dear Sam.
I know how it feels like. You must be worried sick right now. And I wish I could donate. You see. My dog recently passed away (last friday). And boy do I miss her :(. She was always so cuddly as I got home from school. I didn't even have to open the door completely because she was there and pushed it open to see me. She always used to rest on our couch and I used to sit next to her and talk to her. She wasn't just "any dog". She was a part of our family. But then. She started making these weird noises. And it turned out it was a tumor in her mouth. It made it difficult to breath for her. Until we decided to put her to rest. We didn't want her to suffer anymore. She just got 8 years old! Oh dear Vera, I'll always remember you.
Good luck though and remember that everything can happen the next morning..
