Crappy week forecast...

So far this week is not looking good at all.  Taking the dog to the vet on Tuesday.  He has a tumor on his left hind leg that has eaten away most of the bone and the vet was sure moved into his other systems.  We found this out a few weeks ago much to out dismay.  So the tumor has done nothing but grow and though he still has a healthy appetite...still has the strength to get up and move around...we can tell he is sliding down faster and faster.  The tumor has gotten huge...it looks like someone took a softball and shoved it under his skin...and its strating to discolor and grow little welts or something which is what we were warned of...so its time...I think they are most likely going to put him down.  11 years...almost 12...he's had a good life I think...he's been a good dog, but it still sucks....there just isn't anything we can do.  Another kick to the shin is that as some of you are aware I help take care of my grandparents.  Well my grandfather is being scheduled for another day a week at dialysis.  I'm basically the only one in my family who can make the time to get him to and from and then stay the afternoon there when he gets off to keep an eye on him.  We've already setup a home office over there, but I still don't seem to be able to get my full work day in on these days...I'm really not sure I can take basically losing another day of work a week.  Don't get me wrong...he's family and I love my grandparents dearly...in my rulebook...family always comes first...just got to find a way to get a little relief in here somewhere.  Well, the first part of the week is looking crappy as hell...I can only hope it clears up into some sunnier times towards the end. 

Peace.

Take a break from it man. Just say you can't for a few days and just go out away for a while. Everyone needs a break.
