It's been a tough Thanksgiving. Thankful for
having our Belle still
with us mixed with the grief of the news that it
may not be much
longer now. She has had a strange twist. She's not
hungry in the
morning, but by evening she is absolutely desparate. She bays
constantly until she is fed. Yesterday she bayed
constantly while
we cooked T-day dinner and constantly while we
ate, even after she
had been fed. The only things new are the
emergence of the cancer
on her liver and the new antibiotic to help out
while her white
count is down.
So what happens now? I guess we are in for what
other posts have
called "the roller coaster". One day
good, another bad, until it's
finally over.
Damn, I'm going to miss her.

more tests - she was
losing ground rapidly and why put her through it.
You must be
devasted. I remember going from devastation that my pup was going
to die - to elation that the tumor went away - and
then when it came
back, it was if someone or something had played the dirtiest trick
in the world on me. To lose hope, to re-gain it,
and then to get
the rug pulled out from under you. I thought I
would go crazy with
grief. We had four months from the date of
diagnosis. Look at me -
a year and a half and I STILL ramble. Hang in
there Joel.
