A very sad day!

This blog is supposed to be a log of our day-to-day life so one day we can look back and re-live these crazy days. Most of the posts are good and happy, some of them are not. This is one of the not so good ones.

Yesterday I brought Willie to the vet to do some more tests since he has been having such issues with his breathing. We thought maybe a lung infection or some other infection. He had to spend the night for observation and we all had this bad feeling last night.
Well, the call came in this morning. The x-ray showed a large mass in his chest. I saw it, it's half the size of his heart and grew within months. Nothing specific was said, no diagnosis will be made until the biopsy results come back next week but given his age and the nature of the "thing" they suggested cancer as a good possibility.

Tears were running all morning ... We hope and pray that somehow a miracle will happen.
He is slowly moving through the house, still woozy from the meds, but he ate his food and cleaned the cats bowl ... thats always a good sign.

There is still a lot of Willie left!!! Good thoughts, good thoughts, ...!!!!
