I'm sorry to report that Obie went to Rainbow Bridge
this morning

After many conversations back & forth with our vet in Indy
and the vet in Chicago, my daughter decided to make a last
effort to save Obie by going ahead with the surgery to
remove the tumor on the spleen.They did confirm what had
been expected, the mass had spread to the liver & lymph
system. Obie must have been in a lot of pain, judgeing by
the size of the tumor & lesions on the other organs.There
was no way he could recover from this illness.My daughter
was called into the operating room to say goodbye to dear
sweet Obie & was there when they gave him the final
injection that sent him to Rainbow Bridge. If ever there
was a "Perfect Dog", it was Obie!!! He was a love & a joy
to be around. He will be greatly missed Liz.

p.s. I've told my daughter so much about PT, where so many
people truly understand and share a special bond with their
pets. Thanks to everyone for the kindness & prayers for Obie.
