I went to visit José on my lunch hour. (I had posted about his illness on the Health & Genetics section last week when he got sick). José has cancer, I think she said was pancreatic, and it has spread up in his lungs. We took him home from the vet today. He was on IV fluids and meds for two days. I am faced with a very tough decision with almost no notice. I can't bear to see my sweet dog in pain and if he cannot eat that means that there is very little time to say goodbye.
Tonight I will spend time with him and will do everything I can for him to make him comfortable. He is only 5, almost 6 (May). I haven't "lost it" yet, I'm at work now. I think tonight will be rough when it hits me. I leave for a business trip to the Philippines on Sunday. My heart tells me José won't be able to wait until I return, and I don't think it's fair. Guess I will see what happens tonight and tomorrow, then on to the tough decisions. Please pray for him, he is such a gentle, loving soul. Lisa

Oh gosh, I'm so very sorry.
 Please know that you and Jose will have all the prayers, drool, positive thoughts we can muster up. I can't even imagine how heartbroken you must be.

I am so sorry to hear this. Lily, Gibbs, and I are sending healing thoughts and plenty of drool your way. I know this is a terrible decision to be facing. I know it's tough but give Jose' all the love you can in the time you have left with him and try to keep your chin up.

Oh, Lisa I'm so terribly sorry to hear this and we know how heartsick you are. We lost our Bubba a little over a year ago to cancer, and we had to make the decision you are facing. All I can say is in your heart you will know when it is time and that you will be sending Jose' to a place where he will be pain free and can romp with all the wonderful hounds that have gone before him. It's a terrible decision, but you will get through it knowing that you want the very best for Jose'. You are in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this.
