Ooops..Thursday has passed.
Well I didnt post yesterday, but I was busy, so whatever.
So Buck went to the vet yesterday, and it gave us nothing but bad news. The vet is almost sure that all the episodes hes been having are related to him having a tumor. He has had a lump above his eye for awhile, which we thought was just infection...turns out he has too many symptoms of cancer to think any otherwise. The lump has spread to his nose, which is where the tumor is believed to have originated. He is having a very hard time breathing, and is restless. The vet said that it would be inoperable because of its locale. SO now He is now on Prednizone, in hopes the tumor will shrink, and make it easier for him to breathe. He is also on Cipro to try and kill any infection he may have. Despite being tired, will a swelled face, troubled breathing and a risky outcome; Buck is fairing very well. He was even playing with Chloe in the backyard yesterday. When I got home he followed me into my room wagging his tail. He just keeps fighting. We must be a really great family for him to want to stay alive so bad. Any other dog would have let go long ago...but Buck keeps chuggin' along. He has jumped many hurdles in the past few months. His 13th birthday is in 2 weeks--i hope he is well enough to celebrate :) He doesn't deserve any of this, he has always been such a wonderful dog. He is full of life and personality. We often have conversations (aka barkfests) back and forth. I am happy Chloe has such a great role model to learn from. She really loves him, and cares for him. So I guess we will just hope for the best and enjoy the time we have with eachother!
On a happier note: Ash's birthday is tomorrow (May 16) and we are going camping this weekend. We are going to Breakneck Campground in Portersville (i think thats where it is). I hope everything is great.
So I hope everyone has a great weekend!
