Well, we took our dog Oscar to the Vet this afternoon and found out that the tumors he has are most likely cancerous. We have elected to have Oscar put down instead of costly surgery that would only prolong his life for a likely short time. He seems to be feeling O.K. for now so we plan to wait a couple of weeks at this point. We're not ready just yet to say good bye. We plan to take him up to the Bowers family property in Telico and bury him, so it will be a day long process. As most of you know, we have been struggling for a while with trying to find someone to take Oscar when we move and had actually had some friends say they were willing to take him, but I guess we don't have to worry about that anymore. I can't help but think that this is part of God's plan to work things out for our moving away.
I have always been one to think it crazy for people to get all worked up over losing their pet, but when faced with it myself I have to say this is a very sad time in our lives. While this in no way compares to the lose of a family member or close friend, it is still difficult.
May God bless each of you!

I'm sorry! I know it is so hard. Our cat, Grace, had to be put to sleep, and it was so hard. She lived with my Mom and Dad for the last year of her life, so my Mom took her in and had it done. Oh, so painful!
