the ol' pup is under the weather

Max, Maxley, Max, Maximillian, Mr. Baxter. Whatever you'd like to call him, our dog isn't feeling so well. It seems he may have bladder cancer. The doctor told us it's inoperable because of where in particular it's located. I've done a bit of research and have found some homeopathic remedies containing milk thistle, mistletoe and other natural ingredients that may help. We've been blessed to have him for as many years as we have and if we have any say in it we'd like him to stick around a little longer. I've had him since he was about one year old and he's sixteen now. Denise and I have been married for just about five years and she's really become attached to him as you might imagine. And this is a woman who was born and raised on an island where pets were always kept outside!

"Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God; thy judgements are a great deep: thou, O Lord, preservest both man and beast." (Psalm 36:6 KJV)
