good news and bad news

The good news is that my son is coming tomorrow for an EXTENDED visit! He said a month, minimum. \o/

The bad news is about my doggie.

Greta, the dog I've had since she was 2 months old, has liver cancer. We just found out yesterday. I'm so, so sad. Monday Zach and I will take her up to Tallahassee to see what the vet there suggests we do. Mostly I want to know some kind of timeline and what we can do to keep her comfy. And what we should look out for to know when it's time to let go.
She'll be 15 next month.

I need about $350 to pay for the visit including new ultrasound and sedation. I might be able to swing half of that but not the full amount. Still trying to scrape up what I can. Yesterday's bill (bloodwork, stool, full workup whatever, and the ultrasound where she barely held still) is paid though.

I'm glad you had some good news (about your son's visit) at this time when you also have to deal with that bad news about Greta. I sympathize AND empathize about Greta: I've been through that with more than one of my companion animals and I know it's HARD.

*so much hugs* I'm going through possibly-end-of-life things with one of my cats right now. It's so hard. *more hugs*
