The Loss of Mickey

I haven't added anything to this blog in a very long time, but thought I'd try to pick it up again.

Many of my posts have included Mickey, our white Keeshond. I must now post that we lost Mickey to cancer on June 8, 2009. He would have been ten in August.

We put him on chemotherapy (for those of you who have never had to experience cancer in your pet, chemo doesn't have the same affect on pets as it does on humans), and it put the cancer in remission for about three months, but we didn't get the extra 6-7 months the vet was hoping to give us.

We went through the heart-wrenching experience of trying to decide when he was in too much pain to continue. I never want to go through that again. We miss him terribly; I will miss him always.
