<p class=MsoNormal>My heart is breaking for you. Lymphoma is what took my
Nick two years ago. At Buford’s age, you are correct that chemo is
not really an option. Predisone will help him be comfortable, but as Bev
said a week or so ago, Pred works until it doesn’t work. Buford
will tell you when it is time.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Remember, dogs live in the present. As long as Buford
has a good day, it is a good day. Enjoy each day you have with him and
try not to dwell on tomorrow.<o:p></o:p></p>
