Hi Tara.  I LOVE Diablo’s picture.  He is so very cute – love the ear!!

Bless you, your family and Diablo.  I can just imagine how you feel.  But it is quality of life.  I had finally made the decision with Sadie that if she was going to be in pain or bad off, that I would not prolong her suffering just because I couldn’t stand the thought of being without her.  There was a special peace when I finally decided all this, but somehow she turned around and right now is fine.  But I can honestly say, I was getting ready for the worse.

I have watched my dear friends down the street with their beautiful greyhounds.  They have lost many over the years, but they keep bringing the unwanted home and nurse them, give them love and a life they had never known.  It’s all anyone can do.

You are such an wonderful person to go through this with Diablo, so don’t you ever feel you have done anything but the best for him.  Love him dearly, as you do – it’s all he wants from you.

Please stay with us, as Patrice and all have said, and let us help you through all this.  You are a strong, loving person.  Hang in there.

Sending love and huge hugs, Linda

What a sweet little boy your Diablo! What a great picture, I can just feel those soft little ears. Please give him a gentle rub behind those cute ears from me!

Love and best wishes,

Oh Tara

He’s so beautiful – adorable & a very cute ear. He has been through so much recently & I quite understand about you not going ahead with the treatment. Being totally honest here, it’s the quality of life we all have to think about too, not quantity, and we will probably all have to face these decisions at some point. I have been down the path of treating an older dog (my dear sweet Millie) when I should have left alone & I have never forgiven myself. So, please know we are here so support you through this – lots of spoiling & special cuddles are the best treatment I know – you are such a wonderful Mum, Tara, and I am certain you will always do the right thing for Diablo. Please give him a special cuddle from Auntie Sheena,

Loads of love & cuddles to you all

Dear Tara

Thank you for uploading the photo of Diablo. He is such a gorgeous boy and I am so sorry you are going through this horrible time. I totally understand your decision not to proceed with the chemo. The harsh reality of veterinary treatment is that it is very expensive and there comes a point when we have to stop. I also agree that quality of life is far more important than quantity. It goes against our nature as loving owners, but sometimes we have to take the enormous responsibility to say “enough is enough”, however heartbreaking that is.

Spoil him rotten, enjoy every moment with him, and give those beautiful ears soft rubs from us.
Lots of love,
Mary x

Diablo is still acting normal in all ways but lumps are probably slightly bigger and on both sides of the neck now. I am not sure the increased pred is slowing anything down so maybe the kind of lymphoma that won’t work with pred :( He does not seem to be having any horrible side effects from the pred either….I am just  happy that he is acting normal and happy. Thinking of everyone.
