My deepest sympathies, Blye. Been there and will be there again.
I just found out my Nike has cancer... Had a growth removed and the biopsy came back malignant. Now trying to determine if we can slow it enough to help him have a few more good years. This week we'll take him to a canine oncologist and same day to a holistic vet to see what advice we get. He's the best dog ever, to us, and the best "ball dog" bar-none. Check the link below. We're planning to take him cruising with us this summer. Hopefully he'll have a few more summers with us.
