Brought Cooper to the vet [View all]

Brought my dog to the vet yesterday to get a skin tag biopsied. 12 year old rescue All American dog found in the Bronx. Had her since she was a skinny puppy in NYC animal care and control.

I was paralyzed with anxiety all week and am suffering guilt for going to the vet where she got poked and prodded, while simultaneously feeling guilty for being scared to go sooner.

Any words of wisdom for my crazy self and my head-over-heels love for this big puppydog?
