sad day

Weird...last night I was thinking of updating on things around here, especially about Mojo.  Colette, she's doing better, though still has blood in her urine.  She's staying on antibiotics for another week then will be getting dropped off at the clinic next week to recheck her urine and an x-ray and possible ultrasound.  Sara's ear has improved.  The car is fixed, I think, though they replaced struts, I'm hearing some creaking again so it may have to go back this weekend.

Mojo.  He was doing ok, considering, but then the last few days had started to get more depressed, I was hearing the coughing more, and his appetite was becoming non-existent.  Late this morning he started to go into respiratory distress and there was discharge coming out of his nose.  I decided it was time to let him go.  So, a little while ago we drove down to the clinic and said goodbye.  The vet said she could feel changes in his trachea already since he had stayed there, this tumor was very aggressive, as most chest and lung ones are.  Boy they can go down quickly, and with not much warning ahead of time.  However, I'm very glad we were able to stop his suffering, it's just not fair to feel badly all the time.  He had a good couple of years with us and was, I'm guessing, 15 or so?  So, a pretty long life, and I hope he enjoyed his time with us.  That's all one can hope for, right?

Gentle journey Mojo.  I'll see you again one of these days.
