I'm gonna make this short but I need to get it off my chest, and I will lengthen it later more then likely, and probably finally get to pictures, but sadly today we had to put my oldest(11 years old) and probably favorite/closest to me dog to sleep.
As some of you at least should know by now I used to live in MA, and had 2 houses there and in the time I was there and old Juneau was there for both and my move cross country to Texas. Anyways, after 2 weeks ago he stopped eating and we learned he had a lymph node cancer(didn't want to talk about it much so didn't post) and finally getting him on meds and able to eat again even if it was minor we were finally feeling good even though it was putting it off. Anyways, long story short last night he got worse and even throwing black stuff, as in organs shutting down, and then he plopped down by the door not able to get up this morning. So we carried him to the car, the vet and ended his trouble.
Needless to say the family is doing horrible, and thats not counting my little brother and sister who are on a trip and knew he was bad...but don't know yet that he's gone and they get back tomorrow which is going to be rough. Either way, I felt now that I was able to talk about it finally I would post here, I tried much earlier to post something for close friends on MySpace but couldn't get past a title and I want that one to really mean something. Anyways, I just really like needed to vent and open up, so if I'm at all in a bad mood or really quiet(though there's still shock mixed with loss of appetite thats even keeping me semi-me now) for the next week or so this is probably why.
