Animal Kingdom

I am writing this as I am nervously waiting to get the biopsy results for my beautiful golden retriever "Mollie." She is a 14-month-old that has been extremely loved by our family. She was a "replacement" puppy from Animal Kingdom pet store here in Phoenix, AZ. Our first puppy "Diamond" a beautiful, sweet little boxer pup had Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy (HOD). It's appalling that the pet stores think that you can just replace a loved puppy. We had to make the painful decision to have Diamond euthanized due to her pain and suffering from this horrible disease. My husband and I hated making this decision and felt guilty for making it but after many consultations with her vet decided that this was the most humane option for our Diamond.
