I just came back from a 6 day trip to Arizona. My fiance's brother had a master degree ceremony and he also got married in Tucson this weekend. Before I left, my dog which is a Sheltie named Tucker, had a tumor removed. Unfortunately my vet informed me he has lymphonic (sp?) cancer and should only live a month. So, in the mean time he's supposed to get cortozone shots every 2 weeks. I'm hearbroken and it sucks, but I did have him for 9 years and was a phenomenal pet for me. So, if you have a pet be sure to give it some extra love. You probably take your pet for granted and one day they are gone. So, don't get too mad if it poops on the floor once in awhile
