Default Bad news about our black lab Miss Jolie

Vet called yesterday and confirmed She has Lymphoma, We will have her at the oncologist Tuesday at 8:15 Am, She will do a whole body scan, to see how far along the Cancer is, and possible treatment, Treatment would be a VT vet school, We are hoping she can be treated, She just turned 10 yrs old, she seems outwardly to be fine, but she has slowed down, we pray she will be OK, but her quality of life is the main thing. She knows I believe, you can see it in those big brown eyes! Sometimes I believe she can read my mind! Gary

Gary, I'm so sorry to read this. We just lost our Alder to the same cancer. I hope the best for your pup, and that you get many more days with your girl.

You can bet for certain that she can read your mind. Best to you and her.

Yes, they can certainly read our minds. Best of luck Gary!
Is she the one that ate my check to you for that sweet D Lifter or was that Maddie?

Bummer. Our 11 yr old "Daisy" is slowing down dramatically. Tough decisions in my future. As a Vet friend of mine advised "Make sure the dog is still having fun being a dog." Good luck

So sorry to hear Gary.

We are in a similar situation with our 13 year old springer, Jasper.

I fear that difficult decision will have to be made soon.

Gary,

As I mentioned above, that time has come for my wife and me and we let Jasper go today. We're both shook but we'll manage with time.

It won't be easy as you already know. And many more of us know that too.

All the best to Miss Jolie, and you and your family.

May our 4 legged friends Rest In Peace.

Bill
