Hi Breck - Thank You for asking >>>

Little Baawb is doing as best he can for the situation. I won't lie to you. This has been really heavy on my heart because I have had this guy for over 15 years and he has gotten me thru some pretty rough times. He is my buddy for life.

He has what we think is a tumor behind his eye. I haven't made the dreadful decision yet because he still seems happy, his tail wags and he is his own sweet little self. It would be easier to decide if he was suffering because I promised him I would not let him suffer. To treat the tumor would be thousands of dollars. With gas and everything else the way it is, I can't in my right mind outlay the expense with no guarantee that it would even solve the problem but just delay the inevitable. He is actually 3 years past his expected life span. My responsibility is to my family and their well being both health and financially.

The Medicine has been working relieve the swelling but in time, the tumor will become larger. I think he does have some pain but he sure is not showing it. The meds are quite spendy also. But I'm at a crossroads. I have gotten great advice from my coworkers and I know the time is coming. I guess I just don't want it to.

Am going to take this weekend to celebrate with Mom and not make any decisions until next week at the earliest barring any unforeseen events.

I have to say, this is testing me. I know this is a part of life but I'm not any less sad and afraid of losing him.

Thank You SO Much for your thoughts. It really helps me and the family cope and eventually we will have to face reality. I just want some more time with him.

Many Hugs,

Bob, Bogie, Mom and Sammy
