| Re: Rocky
I am sitting here crying with you! God Bless Rocky and he is no longer in any pain. It sounded bad and I'm sure there was nothing that could have been done. The right thing was done by you and it was non-selfish. My friends dog had lymposcarma and it was just terrible. He went through chemo at the Univ. of Pa. and only went into remission once for a short time and although he seemed happy, he was getting chemo 1st a week and on predisone everyday and it was just so much medicine for him. The chemo is like poison and eventually it does you in. The body can't tolerate it anymore. Boomer lasted 9 mths he seemed happy but it was very termatic for him and us all. She said if she had to do it all over again she would not have done the chemo. Our babies go to young. I am fortunate to have had my Thor till 9 but he was sick for 3 years prior, and my Ceasar who is 11 ,but I tell you there are so many including your Rocky who die to young and there is nothing we can do. My other friends Rottie Ben died at only 2 from cancer. She tried to keep him going by doing a amputation of his leg and he was ok for a couple weeks and a lump popped up somewhere else. So its just such a HORRIBLE disease that befalls so many Rottweilers. My prays and thoughts are with you and my sincere sympathy. Think now of the good times you both had together and as a family and know he is not in pain anymore. Deb Ervin  |
