My wife was dying from a brain tumor and our little dog had a cough that was of concern. I didn't want to leave my wife for any longer than necessary so I asked if I could drop the dog off and pick him up after he had seen the vet. I said I would always be available by phone. No matter how much I asked and pleaded the answer was "no!" I wouldn't leave my wife to sit in a waiting room so our dog did not get treated. My wife died shortly thereafter. Judge for yourself.
