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.
