Fiona Apple Cancels Tour to Stay with her Dog

Fiona Apple is postponing her South American concert tour to be with her dying dog, Janet. Her message explaining the decision was posted at Facebook.

I have a dog Janet, and she’s been ill for almost two years now, as a tumor has been idling in her chest, growing ever so slowly. She’s almost 14 years old now.I got her when she was 4 months old. I was 21 then ,an adult offi
cially – and she was my child.
She is a pitbull, and was found in Echo Park, with a rope around her neck, and bites all over her ears and face.
She was the one the dogfighters use to puff up the confidence of the contenders.
She’s almost 14 and I’ve never seen her start a fight ,or bite, or even growl, so I can understand why they chose her for that awful role. She’s a pacifist.
Janet has been the most consistent relationship of my adult life, and that is just a fact.

But that's just the beginning -the rest will make you run for the tissue box. Read the whole story at Uproxx. Link


I am not crying yet but i want to. I got my dog, Fife, 10 years ago. He is still in good health but I know the inevitable is not far. I will be by his side, no matter what, as he has always been by mine.
