Back From Las Vegas
...and not only was I completely outclassed, I just got the nastiest surprise of my life.
He had been doing better. The doctors even thought he would pull through. Yesterday morning, mom was talking to dad on the phone and suggested that he buy some tuna (not in oil, she specified) to give him to get him eating again. It turned out that it wasn't cancer, but something else--something the vets had had success curing. We were worried we didn't catch it early enough.
I was looking forward to getting home, but I just missed him.
Dad took him back to the vet today because he was bleeding internally, he said.
He's already been put to sleep.
...
And I thought I'd get to see him one more time at least.
Guess not.
Damnit.
