No one could ask for a sweeter dog. This morning, he was laying on his back with his legs all stretched out, his head was against my side and you should have heard the snoring. He's a true cuddlebug. I think he was pretty well cared for now. His teeth are so white, they must have been cleaned. So, I'm wondering, if that's the case, why didn't they do heartworm prevention? He knew he could get on the bed so he's been sleeping with someone. How could they give up such a sweet dog? I'm just glad they did.Originally Posted by Logan
Having had two senior dogs, Murphy and Zipper, drop into my life, I can tell you that it will be one of the best things you have ever done, Val! I'm just sorry I didn't check to see what your decision was, sooner!
When will the heartworm treatments start for Dasher? I want to make sure I am keeping him in my prayers.

Anyway, to answer your question, he goes in for an evaluation (bloodwork, etc) on 12/26. Sometime soon after that, treatment starts. I'm keeping him as calm as possible in the meantime. He's also got a few fatty, nickle sized lumps. One int the flap of his ear and one on his belly. Please pray hard that they're not bad ones. That will be checked that day, too. I don't think his body could handle both heartworm and cancer treatment. If it is cancer, I'll just let him live as long as possible without pain. Hopefully, they're just lumps that older dogs get but because one is in the ear, I'm kind of scared. I've made up my mind that I'm only going to adopt older dogs. I feel it's what I've been called to do. I think the happiness outweighs the sadness. Dasher is such a different dog from when I first saw him. I just wish I could have taken his buddy, too. I felt really bad about that.
I miss you
