I felt so bad for him, I saw him carry the dog inside in his own arms, and the drops of blood on the sidewalk and around his SUV. He had to walk past me to leave and I simply touched his arm and told him I was so sorry.

til you see me bawling when my bottle-fed baby Rufus died in May (He was 10 months old). I looked like Niagra Falls with the tears flowing, Luckily Deb wasnt here because I don't care for people to see me cry, I consider that my private thing.
I do have Rufus' older littermate/sister Missy, who is perfectly healthy and spaded (She is a black calico, possible siamese mix). She was the only cat to survive from her family (Her mother "Girl" died after giving birth, and two of the kittens were stillborn
)

I had company staying with me all last week, so I forgot to post that there was some good news. We did his third chemo(of this new drug), and took X-rays, last Wed. From all X-ray appearances, the cancer in his lungs has been reduced!!! It was definitely smaller in the pics! The vet was amazed. I spoke with U of IL last evening, and the oncologist was amazed, too! Today was his fourth treatment with this drug. We'll go to bi-weekly now, and do X-rays in four more weeks. I know I'm only buying him some more time, but as long as it's quality time, I don't mind eating baloney!
