Bad News

Hello everyone, I have some very sad news. Today at 8:30 am we put Sebaka down and we buried him up at John and Loretta’s. I am telling you this because Linda is heart broken and I want all our friends to be aware that Baka is not with us. Give us a few days to absorb the shock, this has been real quick. About two weeks ago we noticed a little limp in his walk. This week he would not put any weight on the left back leg so we took him in to the vet yesterday. He has been diagnosed with bone cancer and the prognosis is grim. We could take off the leg and he would have about a year with us. Statistics show that 90% of the pets with this cancer die within six months. The vet said it is very painful for the dog and we could use pain drugs, but it would only prolong the out come. We will spend a few minutes with him this morning and put him to sleep to save him the pain and suffering.

It’s very sad but I thought you should be aware.

Keep us in your thoughts.

Dean
