We found out Monday that he has cancer. Needless to say, we're crushed. Apparently, golden retrievers have a higher rate of cancer than a lot of other breeds and it's something that just happens.

And, unfortunately, his condition has suddenly deteriorated in the last few days and he's not doing very well. We took him back to the specialist today and they said there's nothing that they can really do for him. It's worse than they originally thought and it's the type of cancer that can spread. It's fairly advanced and there's no real timetable, but things have gotten progressively worse. So it looks like we have some decisions to make very soon.

I think I'm going to take a little hiatus from the blog for awhile. I don't know how long, but I've got other things to deal with obviously. For those of you who have expressed your sympathy and have asked about the dog, Beth and I both appreciate it immensely. Thank you.
