<DIV>Just wanted to let everyone know that Melissa and Jo from MBR lost their
beautiful 6 year old Basset Harvey to cancer. There was no warning and it
was Thursday morning when Melissa noticed Harvey's bum looked
wet around his anus so she cleaned it with baby wipes and noticed some
blood and it was extremely red. Melissa immediately started praying for an anal
glad problem and called the vet. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In a matter of a few hours Harvey went from being a healthy active goofy
boy of 6 years old to a young man that was full of cancer and was having trouble
breathing . X-rays showed a growth in his rectum and massive mass in
his chest pushing his windpipe way over from where it should be. Harvey was
brought home to be with his family Thursday evening and today (Friday) his
vet let Harvey go to the bridge while being surrounded by friends, family and
his houndies brothers and sister at home.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Melissa and Jo and family are in a state of shock and asking why? why? How
could this happen? Harvey had just turned six years old Jan 28th. His vet said
that Harvey was the most stoic dog she had every met because he had been so sick
but never every showed even a hint of a problem. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Neither Melissa and Jo were ready to say goodbye but they could not
let themselves let Harvey suffer. Words cannot even begin to explain the anguish
cries and emotions that are being felt today in Michigan</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please keep Melissa and Jo and family in your thoughts and prayers.
