I Will be Back Monday

Yesterday we took Merlin and Crystal into the vets for check ups.

Merlin is now 14 years old and has lymphoma and a bad heart. Our vet said with as advanced as the cancer is he has about 1-6 months. At his age we’ve chosen to let him go with dignity and not pump him full of medicine which his heart couldn’t handle anyway.

Crystal is doing fine. SHe’s at a good weight, was nice to everyone even when getting her shots. She too is upset because Big Dawg and I are so upset. She quit play wrestling with Merlin about 4 to 6 weeks ago so we knew something was up with him. She has also been spending more time laying next to him wherever he is to protect him. He coughs she’s got to come right there and sniff him than give him kisses.

As you can imagine this is a rough time for our family and we want to take this weekend just to be together and let the news settle. So I will not be posting as I’m sure many of you can feel my sadness coming through in the post.
