I had to take Forrest, my old gorgeous old Border Collie to the vet this morning.  He is in doggie hospital for the day.

The vet mentioned the "C" word.........

My heart goes out to you, Blinky.  I lost my yellow Lab last year, age 15, so I know how alone you feel when you come back to an empty house and the food and water bowls still on the floor.  I know Goldens are susceptible to cancer, and I know that most breeds have some weakness or other, but I don't know what it is for Border Collies.  Wishing you all the best and hoping that he may pull through, I know you won't let him suffer.

    I hate the big ''C''!!! It took two of my beloved cats within months of one another.

    I'm sorry to hear about your "Forrest''.  How old is he?  I pray he doesn't suffer.  Blessings go out to you and him.

  • He is almost 13 OLDTIMER. Which for a Border Collie is pretty good, but then he hasn't been a working dog just a pampered dog!! ~Aussie B

    UPDATE............

     

    It's cancer. 

    The vet said that he is in really good shape for an old fella, so if it hasn't spread and is only in the node then he has a chance.

    Thanks for your prayers and good thoughts.

    Sometime the Dr mentions every possibility. There is a chance it could be something else.  I hope so.  Of course I will be sending positive thoughts prayers and everything possible your way.

    Please keep in touch with us about your sweet Forrest.

  • Thanks serialmom. I know that the vet has to mention everything, but I just hate to hear that word out loud if you know what I mean. The river in Egypt and all that.... ~Aussie B

  • Thanks Silva. He is my buddy. I've been through a lot this year and sometimes when I've been sad, he will just come up to me and rest his head on my knee and look up at me with his big brown eyes as if to say, ''You'll be ok, I'm here''..........~Aussie B
