Update 04/03/02:
The news was not good, I have no idea how to spell the medical terms so I'll do the best I can. Thyroid carcenoma. A rapidly matastasizing type, already shedding cells and found in the fluid in her chest. Surgery would buy her 6 months tops, and much of that time would be recovery from surgery. Sad, but I refuse to make her suffer for my selfish reasons. She will go to the bridge tomorrow around noon. Her breathing is very laboured now and she doesn't get up much. She still comes and greets me, but it pains me to see her trying tp please me. I'll miss her greatly. I'm sure many of you have had to endure similar experiences. And I've had dogs before and still do, but for some reason, and I don't know why right now, she was just extra special. Maybe it was the way she showed her gratefulness. She always said thank you in her way. She is the perfect little lady.
Thank You All So Much,
steve
