He has "adenocarcinoma"...
It metastasized. The Vet called yesterday to deliver the news, she explained that with the surgery she was able to give us one more year with him maybe two...
But without it he would have died in six weeks.
She explained that it's going to come back, and could possibly be aggressive. There was a question of: "Do you want to put him through chemo?"
No. I don't want the last two years of his life to be wracked with pain, confusion and getting sick as his hair falls out.
I can't do that to him.
So, we have some time left with him and we're going to make the most of it.
He's going to be even more spoiled than he is now. Treats. Steak dinners. Whatever his little heart desires.
I thank the Gods and the Vet clinic for giving us this time.
Right now, I really don't know how to process any of what I'm feeling. Cancer stole my Dad from me, and now it's taking my best friend.
My son. My Dog.
I know I need to be brave for him, because he won't understand what's happening as time goes on. So I cannot waver in the face of this fight..
But I will work through this and figure things out.
So, if I'm distant right now...please understand that it has nothing to do with you. I'm sorry.

aw dude im so sorry. loseing a pet is like loseing a big part of ur heart or ur soul. but its good to know whats going to happen so u can prepare and spend as much time with ur buddy as u can. i love dogs, will u give him sum belly rubs for me if he likes that? x3
spoil the crap out of that guy. make him feel so happy and loved ,let urself greive tho too. hes not gone yet so make the best of it. get lots of pics and vids u can look back at after hes gone. and remmember dogs just live for the day so try to do that as much as u can with him
I've had him since he was a puppy, ten years...
Right now, he's curled up in bed, wrapped in his comfy pup blanket.
I've quite a few plans to spoil him, he's recovering from surgery still.
Thank you for the kind words, I'll give him extra belly rubs for you.
