She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man,
because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon

LMFAO!!! Andrea, you are PMing with me (ROSA), but isn't Mar's doggie named ROSE (not Rosa, right?) :$

Anyhoo, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAR!!! I hope that Rose gets better really soon.

Thanks guys. Today of all days, all the great wishes are so needed.

For those of you that have met Rose, you can understand why I'm so upset about the news that she has cancer. The vet has told me that it's not a good cancer and spreads very fast. Hopefully the surgery that she'll have next week will help her.

I'm out the door now to get her to the vet for blood work. Once those test come back, we'll know more. I'm keeping my hopes up. Andrea offered some wonder advise and I've changed my mind set and am going to continue to enjoy my time with with her.

Well happy birthday there. I ws going to make a very funny joke about your greatly advancing years, but I've decided to be nice because your dog's ill.

As for Rose, it's up to you, but I think that animals handle illness with way more equanimity than humans do. They sense when they have had enough and let go far more easily than we do, or want to let them. It pains me to see an animal kept alive by invasive means because we don't want to let them go. I made the decision that if and when my old cat needs to check out, I'm just going to make him as comfortable, warm and loved as he can be to ease his way out. I'll let him decide for himself when he's had enough and enjoy him for the time I have with him. Mind you, it was nearly his time this morning at 5:00 a.m. when he woke me up by sticking his paw in my mouth.

I know that you'll do right by Rose though. She's a lucky dog and she probably knows that.
