Our Saddest Day

I took our boy to the vet today as his limping was getting worse; sad to say, the cancer has returned in the right leg, at the hip joint.  This cancer, as most of you know, is inoperable.  He has survived longer with this disease by nearly double than the initial expectations. He has been our brave, strong boy.

He has another appointment Monday with his oncologist, so we will get a better sense of time at that point, but I have been warned he only has a few weeks.

I know all of you love him very much; please feel free to come by at any time; he will love to see you and be seen.  Your loving support of him has helped make him a "poster child" for cancer survivors; these 18 months have been a gift and we have loved and appreciated every moment. 

I don't think of Razzle as "my" dog, but "ours" --- so all of you are more than welcome to come by and make sure you tell him how much you love him before he has to leave us.

Irene,

Such sad news about Razzle. So sad to read about. He did live so much longer than anticipated so that's the beautiful thing! I'm sure Laela thinks every greyhound she sees is Razzle until she smells them, then she runs away. We love him very much and he will be deeply missed. Amazing story the poster child to tell. -Jenn
