[Dailydrool] Abbie update - not so good

[Jaclyn Chancey]

Actually, the Abbie update is pretty crappy. She's been losing weight and
still coughing. She had her follow-up appointment today, and the X-rays are
worse. Given the weight loss and other symptoms, the vet believes we're
dealing with a lymphoma that spread to her lungs. Abbie's breathing is more
labored and there's nothing we can do to make the lung and a half that she
can't use work. So she's off the antibiotics and onto prednisone to make her
feel better for as long as we can.

Her daddy is taking it pretty hard. Abbie has bonded really strongly to him,
and she and Josh are his first dogs. It's not like I'm thrilled or anything,
but I've unfortunately been down the canine cancer road a few times. So any
heart-healing drool you've got left, could you send it Will's way? Thanks.
