I got the news yesterday that my brother’s dog Rocket has bone cancer. Some of you may say, “It’s just a dog”, but to my brother and his wife he’s like their child. I saw him on Christmas eve at my bro’s place and he could barely use the leg where the cancer is. He looked like he was in a lot of pain and was just plain miserable. If they give him painkillers he’ll only have a few months left at most. They’ve opted to have the leg amputated to give him potentially years longer. He’s already 12 years old so it’s not like he’s a puppy anymore, but when he’s happy he acts like it. The leg surgery is next week so hopefully everything will go well.
