We have more Spanky news, and it isn't what we hoped.
The pathologists are pretty sure what they're seeing in Spanky's biopsies is cancer, so we do have an answer. Because of where it is as much as what it is, treatment isn't much of an option. The doc is looking into one drug that might shrink the swelling, but beyond that, there isn't much to do. We have drops that seem to prevent the bleeding pretty well.
So that's the news. Spanky's home and happy. He led us on our 2.5-mile run yesterday and a 3-mile walk today. He eats and sleeps and likes his biscuits, and as long as he's happy and comfortable, we're happy. We'll value the time we have, and say goodbye when we have to. Thank you for all your good thoughts and wishes. Spanky wagged his tail for all of them.

We're so, so sorry. But you're right, as long as he loves the things he loved and can still do them/eat them, just appreciate your time with him. We're not going to stop the good thoughts, though -- you can't make us -- because we want that time to be as long and as comfortable as possible.
Thanks. So do we.
So sorry that the news came back this way! We have been really hoping for the best. And like Sonnjea, we will keep sending those good thoughts! We are happy to hear that Spanky is still feeling Spanky! We are thinking of you all!
