Elizabeth Warren: "I’m still cheering Bernie on"

61. I've very sorry to hear about your dog

I hope the chemo works. I know it's expensive. It was too expensive for me to help my cat. He was a beautiful big guy...15-year-old mostly white with a little orange (Angel Baby) who loved to hunt, and loved all people. He became hyperthyroid, so I just spent over $500 on him over the last six months treating him for that, and I could not afford to try chemo for his cancer. I knew he didn't have a lot of time left, but I lost him Monday to a coyote and I'm still crying. We usually don't have coyotes out here but this spring a really aggressive male who is not at all afraid of people, showed up with his mate, and they have a den up on the hill above me. I've never lost a cat to a coyote before, in eighteen years, and I'm just blown away by this. I'm totally freaking out over losing him this way, and I have four more cats and I'm so afraid to let them outside now. I'm locking them in at night and one girl, who is also a hunter, keeps me awake all night scratching on my door to get out. This is not going to be a fun summer.

I know what it's like having to make tough decisions on how to spend your money. But this race is so worth it. I wish I still had the confidence that we could win that I had before NY, but we've been fighting an uphill battle from day one for the dark horse.

But Hoop started a thread about this today that was wonderful and heartwarming and spirit lifting, and inspiring. And we need that now. Bernie is inspiring too.
