The last few weeks our boy Stumpy wasn't feeling so good. He acted like he was in a lot of pain and just wasn't active as normal. 2 weeks ago we took him to the vet and they said his blood count was low and took an x-ray. They said his ribcage was swollen and things just looked to full in there. He was to go in for a scope today and after seeing this  they ended up having to cut him wide open. 1/10 of his weight was this huge tumor  :P Anyway it went smooth but he is 12 years old and has to stay for a couple days to make sure he is gonna be ok. He is like on of our kids and thought I would share.

Thanks. Yeah aint that the truth. I might be back to work in a couple weeks. At least I will be home till he recovers. Doctor and vet bills = nothing for the Charger though.  :brickwall: :brickwall: :brickwall:

After the surgery he was himself for a couple weeks....well evidently the tumor was cancerous. The last 2 weeks he has started acting like he was before the surgery. A few shots again today, now we just gotta figure out when to put him down  :'(

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I figure when he doesn't acknowlege us when we come home it's time. When we are gone and come home he runs and greets us. He also enjoys going for a ride. When I grab the keys and he just lays there we will know. I just can't put him down now since he is showing some will to live. It is costing us for him to live but like others have said - Dogs are like family.

I know how hard it is.  Very sorry for your loss.  You'll meet up again.  A year or two ago I posted a writing called  "The Rainbow Bridge" for someone going through the same thing.  I'm out of town for awhile so don't have access to it now.  Maybe someone can find it and post it for you.   :'( :'( Bob

       The Rainbow Bridge

        inspired by a Norse legend

By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,

Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.

Where the friends of man and woman do run,

When their time on earth is over and done.

For here, between this world and the next,

Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.

On this golden land, they wait and they play,

Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.

No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,

For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.

Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,

Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.

They romp through the grass, without even a care,

Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.

All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,

Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.

For just at that instant, their eyes have met;

Together again, both person and pet.

So they run to each other, these friends from long past,

The time of their parting is over at last.

The sadness they felt while they were apart,

Has turned into joy once more in each heart.

They embrace with a love that will last forever,

And then, side-by-side, they cross over......... together

Sorry about your loss, Dennis, I feel for you.  We had a salt-pepper miniature Schnauzer named Chauncy when I was growing up years ago.  He died the same way (cancer) at the age of 14.  Great dogs to have.....

Thanks Chad. I have had other dogs but he was someting else. He would sometimes throw a fit if he couldn't go with us somewhere. He would wait on the back of our couch by our bay window all day waiting for me or the lady to get home. We once left on vacation for 10 days and had a niece stay at the house with him. He hardly ate or slept the whole time we were gone. He would be excited to see us if we were gone for just 30 min.

Thanks Nacho. Pretty tough today at work with hardly any sleep. He slept at the foot of our bed since we got him at three months. I sometimes take a nap when I get home from work and he is right there. Today I just couldn't do it.

Thanks Ed. We may get another someday but not right away. My wife is taking it pretty hard too. She almost got fired today because she took off yesterday just for a dog! Her boss is a bastard.....a millionaire cheap skate SOB. He gave her a dollar raise in the last 5 years. She has an interview Thursday....we are praying hard.
