The wife and I took our male dog to the vet today, sounds like he either has mast cell cancer spreading though his lymph nodes or lymphoma. Hes in good shape still, but we wouldnt let them chop into his back leg to take a lymph out, not gonna put the poor guy through chemo, just put him on prednisone benedryl and pepcid. we'll give him that stuff to make the lymph nodes go down and we'll keep him well fed, well loved, and spoiled till his quality of life starts to go away. [bleep] day, i love my dogs more than most people i know, but time to start coming to grips with whats eventually going to happen. ![[Linked Image]](http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa317/ajcoop20/2011-05-23123503.jpg)

Sorry to hear that. I can get how you feel about the dogs. We consider ours to be better than a majority of people we know.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

I'm so sorry. I echo Jeff's statement. My dogs are far better than most of the people walking around. I've been through that 'valley' several times and it's never easy.

acooper1983 - such sad news. I wish you and your dog the best, but this sort of thing is never good. I wish you and him the best possible, whatever that may be.

Thanks everyone, I guess its selfish to wish that I had bred him, but i did not, There are to many bully breeds out there and to many idiots that own them and dont know how to train them so i made the decision when he was young to not breed
Kelsey and I really appreciates everyones kind words. He is in good health at the moment but we dont know how long thats gonna last, so he's getting spoiled, he's laying with me on the couch as I type this, eyeing the bag of venison jerky on my lap. Hug your pets tight.

Lost this special girl to the same thing last year. Synthetic fertilizers / weed killers on my yard seem to be the likely culprit.  ![[Linked Image]](http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv111/bpig1/030.jpg) Prayers for your boy. BP...

I agree completely with your approach. Sorry to hear he's coming to his last days. Great looking dog. Reminds me very much of the best pal I lost two years ago about this time to cancer. He was twelve. ![[Linked Image]](http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w188/TheRealHawkeye/072906_08412.jpg)

Sorry to hear about your friend bud, I did the same thing with a golden a few years ago, plain and simple IT SUCKS.
Just enjoy his company as much as you can. He looks like a nice boy.
