<DIV>Sorry to hear about the problems the "Big guy" is having. I actually now how you must be feeling,we had to make a very painful decision about three months ago with our "Princess" Harley Davidson,she had Lymphoma and she was almost 11,so putting her through chemotherapy was not an option for us,we believe that it was cruel to put her through that process,so we ask for pain medication so that she would enjoy her life .just remember that all you have to do is look at "Brutus" and he'll let you know when is time to say good bye. Is one of those things that we must endure because we love them that much,and he knows that he can count on you to always make the right choice.I think that you are a wonderful person for adopting a senior hound(at least that's what I'm understanding from the e-mail) ,we did too..a long time ago ,his name was Zeberman ,he was 9 years old and he could not see,had bad arthritis and he had an under bite,he looked like Pumba from the lion king (LOL),and he was the greatest birthday present I've ever got ,my husband would never be able to top that one, he passed away almost at 15 years of age,and even though friends told me that it was stupid to get an old dog because they have nothing left and they could go anytime.I agree with the second part,but that did not stop me from having the most wonderful friend,loyal companion with the greatest apetite for life and food of course,we are talking about bassets...)seniors are so special,they are grateful everyday for everything you do,they are loyal and their love for you is even greater (please don't be mad basset lovers,try to understand what I'm saying) because usually a human has already let them down and they open themselves to get hurt again because their heart is that BIG and if you love then back like you do they know that they got a second chance to a forever home.Queen Bailey and duchess Zelda are sending kisses and praying for him and you. What ever happens ,know that you had and have the tremendous blessing of having a Basset Hound fur baby or as we love to call them here at home "an angel wearing a basset suit",keep us posted,thinking of you ,Lou and Robert,food slaves of Queen Bailey and duchess Zelda.,(and forever in our hearts,Princess Harley Davidson (ATB),Prince Zeberman (ATB),and the Duke Zekual (ATB)...one day we will meet again and we'll cross the Rainbow Bridge together...bassets Rule!!!!!!)</DIV>
