Touch Decision


Two weeks ago I took Samuel to the vet for a check up and to get a lump on his rib checked out. Unfortunately, after taking an x-ray of Samuel's ribs, the vet told me he has a cancerous tumor which had already eaten up an entire rib bone. There is nothing that can be done to stop the spread and i must now decide when to put him down. Since then, he has deteriorated quickly. His back legs are starting to give out on him now and i can tell he's really starting to suffer. He's been a great dog ... my first. Everything i ever wanted in a dog. This will be one of the toughest decisions i've ever had to make.
