Lady Luck hasn’t treated our little family well lately. Yesterday we found out that our eldest girl has lymphoma, she has two large tumors between her back legs and at least one attached to her other kidney, we will know more next week when the lab results come, but until then everything will be uncertain. She has some meds to help her pass stools and maybe shrink the tumors, but we’ll know how aggressive her lymphoma is and if there is any hope of beginning treating them next week, but it’s not looking good in all honesty. We don’t know if we have days, weeks, or months with her.

Right now she’s doing quite well, she eats well, her fur is shiny and she wants to play. We’ll make sure she’s comfortable if nothing can be done otherwise. Even though she’s already ten years old, I’m absolutely devastated. We lost our dog just one year ago and I love our pets dearly. Getting a pet usually means you will be there for their whole life span, but it doesn’t get any easier to see one pass away no matter how many times you witness it. I was supposed to attend an artist alley this weekend, but I’m staying at home with my girl.

If you have any pets, please give them lots of hugs, kisses and treats for them today for us.
