The Verdict for Jack is In --- Post #84

[slick]

During the week I have "snuck a peek" here but didn't have the time to type a proper response.

First off, I'm so very sorry to hear the latest news. It so unfair that this should happen to such a sweet boy and to such a loving family. These decisions are never easy to make but I just have to say that I would do the same thing if I were in your shoes. If his quality is life is good, keep it that way. Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease and it definitely shows in this case.

Bless his little heart and bless you guys for loving him so much and doing everything that caring "parents" would do.

Please give him a kiss from me. I will continue my prayers.

I'm so sorry to hear about Jack's test results. I too think that you're making the right decision and I hope that he'll be able to remain comfortable in your home for a long time to come. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

As they said - who knows how long it has been growing anyway?

Wishing you many many more happy days with Jack!

We, as pet parents, know our animals the best. We know when they hurt, when they are happy, when they experience sadness. They in turn know us just as well. You know Jack the best, therefore you have HIS best interest at heart. You are much loved and supported in any decision you chose to make.
Much love and hugs and support sent your way in your time of need and ANY TIME!
Staci, Keegan, Kylie, Kloe.

Supported 100%. That would be the decision I would make if it were my Bob, without doubt.

Prayers & positive thoughts continuing for you all. Please give Jack some hugs and kisses from me.

I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes thinking of all the things Jack has went through, and now all this.
But I'm glad to know he's had so many wonderful years with you and Carl. He couldn't have asked for a better more loving home.

Lots more prayers being said that Jack has lots and lots of good days ahead of him.

(((hugs))) W'e'll be keeping you & Jack in our prayers. I hope you have many more wonderful walks, trips to the dogpark, and good times together. No one knows how long any of us has, it's the quality of our days, not the number. Skritches to sweet Jack.

You know I support your decision completely. I think anything else is too risky for him and he deserves to enjoy his life whether it is 10 more months or 10 more years. Love and hugs to all of you.

I definitely support your position. I truly understand your situation.

My Carly has terminal cancer. She is doing well, but we know it's a matter of time. When she was diagnosed, they talked about doing surgery and a lot of chemo. The surgery sounded almost like gutting her and then they explained the side effects of the drugs. Dick and I talked at length about it and after reviewing what the doctors had told us, we believe that we will give her the best "rest of her life" that is possible. She's had a few set backs, but so far I'm pleased with our decision. In November, they gave her 4-6 months to live. This last week, she celebrated 7 months. Even the doctors are amazed.

Every day you have with your Jack is an absolute blessing. My thoughts and prayers are with Jack, you, and all of your family

[ramanth]

Sounds like a good plan! Hugs for you and Jack!

Diana, I am behind on Pet Talk and just got caught up on Jack's situation. My prayers will be there, too, for you and Carl, and precious Jack. I think you are absolutely taking the right approach.

I read you last couple posts and I think I have absorbed the situation as best I can. If Hannah or Tucker had the same diagnosis that Jack has, I do believe my course of action would be the same. Life is so short, yet he just may surprise us all with more left than we suspect. The real challenge will be not to melt into sobs when you look at him.

Enjoy every day, Good Boy Jack.
