<DIV>Hi Melissa and Jo,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I am so sorry this happened to you and
Harvey. Our Sweet Bubba was fine one day and then the next day he started
vomiting. He had surgery two years before for liver cancer so we panicked when
this happened. I knew in my heart that the cancer was back but we never dreamed
how bad it was. He had a huge mass in his stomach that had to be very
painful....... he never let us know he was in pain. The sudden diagnosis was
devastating and the vet told us the vomiting would only get worse because of the
tumor. Sweet Bubba looked up at me and said he was tired and ready to go. We
made the hardest decision of our lives and let him go. One day we had a happy
dog and the next day, we had to let him go. The shock was unbearable. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> You will know when it is time and my heart
feels for you. I still miss my Sweet Bubba and it has been two years. We have
three rescued bassets now and a foster, but I still find myself calling one of
them Bubba. We are sending gentle hugs and snooter kisses to all of you although
nothing will make you feel better right now. Again, I am so sorry.</DIV>
