Nancy ~

I'm so sorry to learn about your dog, Kodi, and his possibly terminal medical problems.  Thanks for the photos.  Kodi is a fine looking dog and I hope he can be saved but if not, I'm sure you'll do whatever it takes to comfort him and spare him any needless suffering. You, Dave - and Kodi - will be in the thoughts and prayers of many in the coming days.

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

I'm so sorry to hear about your dog.  I do hope he gets well also.  It's so hard to have sick animals.

It's really hitting now.  The possibility of losing him, the mild suffering even now, the decision that may have to be made very soon . . .

I'm so sorry, Nancy.  You must be very distraught.  It's a difficult thing to go through for sure.  I know you'll do what's best for your dog no matter how painful it is.  Just know that we're all here to support you.  Hang in there.  --Carol Ann

Oh, Nancy...very glad to hear Dave is good, but hate to hear about Kodi.  Know it's tough on you guys.  Pain and sickness in children and pets always causes heart ache.

Hug to you,

Cindy

I'm sorry about Kodi, we lost our chocolate lab back in June, its so hard to know there is nothing you can do.  Give him lots of love and hugs and remember the good times.
Hang in there,
Liz
