Tracker update

[trystinn]

As we feared and suspected, the cancer has indeed returned and with a vengeance, attacking his lymphatic system. We could run some tests to prove what we already know and medicate with prednisone, but at best he'd only have a month and a bad month at that. He is almost completely blind, lost more than twenty-five pounds since the infection in his leg this fall, cold to the touch and suffering. Tomorrow morning first thing we have an appointment to release Tracker to the Bridge.

Probably not going to be able to respond to everyone's comments for awhile, I know everyone will understand.

I am so, so sorry. You know what a floppy-eared hound dog fan I am.

I am getting up to light a candle right now. I'll keep it burning for a while...

I'm sorry to hear that. Tracker is a lovely dog, and will be missed by many more than your own family, but this is as much a testament to how well he lived his life as anything. My thoughts and prayers will be with all of you over the next few days.

Thank you, hon. As one of a handful of folks on my Flist who have met Tracker, I truly appreciate your words.

All of us who own pets will understand how hard this is for you right now. I'm proud of you for making the unselfish decision of letting him go whilst he still has some dignity. Hugs to all of you.

I'm so sorry you have to say goodbye to him, but I'm glad to know the poor guy won't be in pain anymore. Hugs and support to you and your man, and the other animals of the household.
