For many people (like my wife and I), our pets are our children.

The little furry life that we’re responsible for, care for, and for many, wouldn’t know what to do with ourselves if they weren’t around.

You don’t quite realize how much you care for a pet until an illness sets in.

I don’t want to go into a lot of details, but my little dog was recently diagnosed with heart issues. It’s horrible, but it is a part of life.

There is nothing different we could have done to prevent this, but we’re getting him the help he needs now, and that is what is important.

When it comes to preventative care, the Yakima Humane Society is there to help where they can, and that’s by offering vaccines.
