Welp, today is a bad day already. We're scheduling for our old dog to be euthanized. He made it almost 14 years.

He stopped eating thursday, took him to vet saturday.. they said he has a ton of cancer, is anemic.. put him steroids to see if he may be okay for a week or so more. Allie's mom, who loves him, was trying to get up to see him this week.
we had a ton of friends over on saturday to celebrate him... he got stuffed full of steak, treats, and got lots of love.
he's just not enjoying life.. he could probably live for a while, not really in pain, but he's not reacting to much. i think he told us last thursday when he stopped eating it was time. we don't drag it out for our sake.
the picture is him at his best - as a wrapping paper i made in mspaint that i have used over the years for a number of gift situations.
