Well my husband decided that my health was more important. He wants me to go to the doctor and we will take our old boy in next month instead. He has to have some tumors removed from his neck and back. We decided to not test them for cancer because it is so much money. We will just take off the tumors and treat his teeth and have him live out the rest of his life happy and spoiled. We didn't just jump into getting an animal either. He was his dad's dog and his dad passed away and his mom wouldn't take him so we got him. We are doing all we can for him. We have pain meds for him and stuff. He acts happy and everything, just old lol. And if he starts to show any signs of pain or suffering we will put him down. He has had a good long life.
