I've tried to write everyone back, but I'm afraid I can't keep up on them all. You are all so very special and your words have helped me and my husband get through this hard time. If I haven't wrote you, know your words meant the world to us and we will try and respond to you. We had a bit of a shock from our vet. We won't be certain until the biopsy is back, but Bears heart and kidneys look great. It's his lymph nodes that don't. It seems likely to my vet that it was lymphoma. I'm thankful he didn't suffer. And I'm also selfish, that I am sad that I had no time to prepare myself for his death. He is my hero, and I will always love him and keep him near my heart.
