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.

for a short period of time, but then re-appeared bigger than ever in
her right shoulder and her left lower leg. The vet felt that she
was probably full of cancer - but we decided no 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.
