20:18 Median Survival TimeAbout Today’s Guest, Laura Gillespie:
Laura is a yoga teacher in Glasgow in Scotland. She worked full time until 2021, when she decided to leave to teach yoga and work her own hours, partly because Buddy had just been diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma and she and her partner didn’t know how long they would have with him.Now that they have two dogs, the house is never quiet. The dogs go most places with Laura - to her friends’ houses, in the car to shops, the bathroom floor when she’s in the shower, and of course, to the pub.
