Congratulations, I totally agree with "don't sweat the small stuff". We were those two kids getting married on Dec. 5th, 1959. I look back and see those first years, husband was drafted less than a year later and went to Korea for 13 months. That was the only time that we have ever been apart. You all have a wonderful day together,

The cancer two years ago was carsino sarcoma - a very slow growing but invasive cancer. Also, this was a very telling thing -- when he was outside flies would gather right where he was having the pain. I immediately said "infection". Why else would those disgusting, blood-sucking disgusting things do this? Never did we think cancer. So he had his back leg amputated, we all grieved (including his little sister, Daisy)for awhile, until McDuff was up an running and playing and going down stairs and amazing everyone. Especially for such a huge dog (180 lbs.) to be able to support himself on three legs. Now it's two years later - a lump on his front paw. This time they don't really know what type of cancer it is. The vet gave him Rymadel and Tramadol for pain and told us 2 - 8 months. Also that he could have chemo and radiation or amputation. We decided that we would not put him through anymore. I know the medication has kicked in when he stops licking his paw. We're trying to be brave right now. We will miss him so much. And I always tell everyone that everything happens for a reason. I truly believe this. And this thinking has got me through alot of rough patches. But the day McDuff goes, will still devestate us. It will hurt down to our bones. I will try and post a picture
