[Barb and Raven]

It's so sad to hear about Odin. Did you know what why he was so sick?
My Buddy who was my second Rottie also went downhill very fast. He lost a total of 20 pounds in two weeks. He was being treated during that time and was at home except for about four days in the beginning. The last time I took him to the vet he said he may have a tumor on his spleen and made a referral to the university clinic for the next day. Well, my sweet boy didn't make through that night. A necropsy confirmed the tumor. Yes, I was just devastated because when I had left him there I told him he would be okay and I would see him the next day.
Your Odin was just two days older than my Raven. She would have turned nine on 8 Aug. She passed away on 22 Nov 06 with congestive heart failure/kidney failure. She too went very quickly....just six days after becoming sick. It came on so very fast. She was just fine the first few hours one morning and then all of a sudden she was just listless and her legs were all cold. I expected her to live longer than she had because she was so active she was like a puppy. We just never know.
Hang in there. Odin has probably met Raven already and they are having a good time free of their pain.
