What a sweet looking fellow - he reminds me of the dog I grew up with. Sending prayers your way, & hope that Mr. Jed will have some happier times ahead.

It was a bit of a sad afternoon, but managed to "sort things out mentally" like. Some wine and good food lightened our mood and we were able to enjoy each others company. Meagan said that there is a possibility that chemo can help Mr Jed. Apparently retreivers respond well to this particular treatment. She is not entirely certain if she will go down this road though as Jed's quality of life is most important to her. Her partner has a friend who is doing some research on the treatment for them at university so it's something that will be discussed a little later when more definate information is available. Meagan is going to find out exactly what cancer it is, and I suggested that she look at posting on Pet Talk, as some advice would no doubt be forthcoming. I also mentioned what a great community it is on here, so I'm hoping we get another member. Meanwhile Mr Jed is happy and not in pain at all, I also found out that he is closer to 15 than 12, so he's kind of at an old age where the ultimate question takes on more significance. I absolutely dread going through something like this with my kids.
Thankyou everyone for your good thoughts, it certainly helped.
Wow, Jed sure is a good old boy at 15!!!
What a long life he's had...
I hope all goes well, and I hope he stays pain free.
~*Hugs*~ to you all during these hard times.
What a beautiful boy Mr. Jed is. He and Meagan are so lucky to have kind, caring and supportive friends like you all. I'm sure your visit with them, just having the chance to talk it out, gave Di much comfort. Much love and heartfelt prayers coming your way with hopes that whatever her decision, your dear friend will know many more happy days with her beloved boy. Di sounds like a very special person, just like you:) Please give Mr. Jed a hug when you see him next:) Sandra
Thankyou Sandra,:) I'm really hoping Meagan will become a member here, I'm sure she will find it beneficial. :)
