They are never here long enough. I am so sorry Dana.

Pilau is so lucky to have you as his "Mom"

This is by far the hardest part of sharing your life and love with one of these marvelous dependant companions, the parting. By far the very worst part of that is the getting there.

I'm so very sorry you and the little bloke are facing this. Been there and done it and remember the feelings.

Love to you and Pilau and we'll be thinking of you down here by the seaside and sending you small wet noses and big warm thoughts.

Poor Pilau, :'(

Give him a big gentle hug from over here. One for yourself too.

Oh, Pilau! I've read of his exploits for quite some time now. So sorry to hear he's doing poorly. He has been such a good friend to you. I hope he gets some relief from the pain and you can have some good final days with him.

Have you read "The Art of Racing in the Rain"? Its a wonderful book about a dog and his master and reincarnation written from the dog's point of view - a really wonderful and ultimately comforting story for anyone who is experiencing the loss of a beloved pet.

My very deepest sympathy and best wishes.

You've always done right by him, Dana, and I think he knows that. It's possible you're not the only one putting on a calm face so the other won't be afraid. He would wish peace on your heart just as much as we do. Love and eternal ball-chasing to the Pilau doggy...

What nice things people have said.

Dana, I was thinking about Pilau last night. He has been, to me, kind of the Cellar dog. I'm not disregarding any other Cellar pets (like Pearl for instance!) mind you. I love hearing about them all!

We've read so much about him and we've seen his pictures and I feel like I know him. How is he doing today?

Clearly your well wishes (with a little help from the new meds ;P) are getting through :0

He seems far more himself today. I think he's responding really well to the new steroid tablets. I am starting to dare hope I may still have him through Christmas.

Thanks

I am way more hopeful now. He enjoyed his walk (yey!) and his food today. And he isn't whining under his breath all the time. Oh, and he just came pestering me for the food i was eating, so clearly he is feeling more like himself.

Thank goodness...cus I sure ain't ready to lose him.
