Guest guest Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Greetings Dragon Slayers It's been awhile since I posted. My guy Jake is doing well post-op. The surgery was more extensive than the vet realized til he got inside his mouth. I had the Pathology done, and it is a melanoma cancer. Can be fast moving. The vet says 3-6 months. Until Jake no longer cares about food, and his tail stops wigglin' and no more silly buggers on the rug, then I'll have him put down. Until then he gets good growlies, many tummy rubs. Walks and loving. Just what he's always had, only more. I'm truly devastated, but keeping it together for him. We've been together for 14 years come April, and as I have said a hundred times before, " he's the reason my feet hit the floor in the morning " ! I suffer from depression, and as such I isolate myself. Jake keeps me climbing out of bed...he needs feeding, and to tinkle. I am not sure if I will get another dog, after Jake goes. It's so painful when it's time to make that big decision. I have not been without a dog since 1972. Makes me a bugger for punishment yes? Thank you all for reading my tale of woe, but a friend helped me through some stuff today that was helpful! I hope everyone is having a warm fuzzy day, with minimal pain!
