Gina-
Oh my God..........my heart is breaking for you. I am sick to my stomach over poor Riley. You are so right that there is never a good time to put our best friends to rest. I keep waiting, and watching as well. This is the hardest thing we have to face and we know that it is just a matter of time. I have to keep telling myself that I have to do WHAT IS BEST for Lucas, as you are for your dear Riley. You would not want your beloved dog to suffer.

As we speak, I am waiting for Lucas vet to call me. Lucas suddenly began to have nose bleeds yesterday. My house is full of sprayed blood. I have been cleaning non stop. I am afraid that Lucas' cancer is spread to his sinuses. I am going to most likely be facing the exact same decision you have made today. My heart breaks for you and this is very, very difficult for all of us. Please know that I am praying for you. Laurie
