Thanks to all who responded to my question about the 10 year old boy. He went over the rainbow bridge today. Apparently, the cancer had spread beyond his foot. He is in a better place now, free of pain. I only had him for a short time, his previous owner had to move and could not take him with her, so he came to spend the rest of his time with me. He was a gentle giant who loved people, was very tolerant of some rambunctious puppies, and spent most of his time snoozing on my couch sometimes next to one of the cats. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
