[quote=Anonymous]I've had him since he was a puppy. His kidneys were just starting to fail (stage 1-2) but now a large lump popped up on his shoulder that the doc is certain is a soft tissue sarcoma, uncertain if it metastasized to one lung. He's on a steroid and did improve with that to drinking, being able to get around, etc. Only interested in treats at this point, and that's OK. He's a small breed anyway so I've been balancing treats between meat based, grain and fruit and veggie based, and giving him baby yogurt treats with veggies.  If he doesn't improve more by end of week, we'll have to make the decision to let him go next week.

Very sad about it but there's a lot of acceptance as well. He came to us from an abusive situation and we gave him a wonderful life. I'll just miss his bouncy little self. On the other side of things, my mother needs more visits, I can visit my youngest in Tokyo and I can focus on my daughter's upcoming wedding. We also have some ill family member (older) and I can help there. Trying to look forward I guess.[/quote]
