So sorry to here about your pooch. Perhaps now may be a good time to have a talk with him about what may be in his future. You know he needs to hear it from you before y'all go to the doctor's office. I think also that he would appreciate some extra ice cream for dessert as well. Some Hagen Das Vanilla Bean might do the trick. Just to put a little extra spin in his tail you know.
Prayers of healing grace for you as you start your journey and your "boy" as he goes to the doctor...
