The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men.
This morning’s adorable.

It’s almost over now
If you’ve followed my blog for a while then you’ll know that my 11-year-old pup Mackenzie has been living with cancer for the last two years. He was diagnosed in January 2009; there’s a mass on the roof of his mouth on his left side. Aside from a slight bump on his face, you wouldn’t know he was sick. He has not showed signs of discomfort or pain up until a few months ago. He must’ve eaten something hard that bumped his tumor the wrong way, making it painful to eat solid food. My brother, who is now his prime caregiver, switched him to homemade food which Mackie has enjoyed. It improved both his health and spirit. But as of Saturday night he quit eating again. My brother tells me that he won’t even take water.
Mackie was taken to the vet this morning for a check up. His vet of nearly 11 years probed his mouth to see what was happening. He said the tumor had grown, which is causing a lot of pain and discomfort. He’ll inject him with fluids and pain medication which should last about 24 hours. Within that time my brother is to try to get Mackie to take food and water, plus his other pain medication. If it works, then we’ll see how he progresses. Maybe it’ll pass like the last time he quit eating. If Mackie still doesn’t eat or drink water even with medication, then there really isn’t anything else that can be done. :’(
