Dante has taken his last walk....
I am devastated-my beloved Dante had his morning walk and could not go very far. The lymph node on his neck seemed to have tripled in size overnight and it was painful for him-he yelped when I touched it. He is having a little trouble swallowing too. I will stay up all night with him-I have a call out to the holistic vet which I hope will be returned first thing in the morning. We will have him come out and help Dante go to heaven. I promised Dante( when we started this journey of this bastard cancer )that I would not let him suffer. My grown sons and my daughter in law and granddaughter came to dinner and said their goodbyes, which broke my heart even more. I have been crying all day ,even during church. It seems I cannot stop.I lost my sister a little over 2 months ago and am just not emotionally prepared for another heartbreak.
I never knew you could love a pet like this. The 8 1/2 years just flew by.
I am so grateful for all of your support and hope.Joanne thank you for the lovely note. You did the right thing for your dog and I will find the strength to do the right thing for mine. They trust us so much and love us unconditionally. Humans can learn a lot from them.
