Black Dog Farm Update

The most important news of the day is that the oncologist reports that Angus is not in remission anymore. He went through one full protocol of chemotherapy - which kept him in remission about four months...then we did another 4 weeks of chemo, and now the cancer is back again. Paul & I knew this was coming because the last few days he really hasn't been his old self.

So - now we need to decide what to do next. We want him to be comfortable and enjoy whatever time he has left to him - but the decision as to whether to try more chemo or just employ prednisone to make him comfortable is a hard one.

It is an awful thing to even think about...putting a price tag on our little friend. All of this has been very expensive, very time consuming, and I think all of us feel worn out.

Look at his expression in the picture below and see if you think he looks like he knows he isn't well.
