I don't think you considering or doing this is selfish. Again, if the dog couldn't do for himself anymore - then perhaps - but it sounds like he's still up and around and ready to play!
Right. And he's his same old self. Through this year and a half of radiation, chemo, tumor(s) removal, and mandibilectomy(and this was bigtime-5 days in the hospital-he was so frail when he came home from this), he's remained UNCHANGED. He plays as much today, as he did two years ago. I've never seen a dog who likes to play as much as Cash. Playing is his life.
I mean, being melanoma, I knew, 19 months ago, that only 10% survive for normal life span. So really, all along, you're just trying to buy as much quality time as you can. So, I guess, in my attempt to become homeless, we'll try this drug too.
