Wonderful post Elliott. I feel for your family, I have a Maltese that has breast cancer. I found this out in October of 07. We refused to do any surgeries, she is 18 an may survive surgery, but a high chance of not waking back up when put under.

I cherish every single day with her as it may be her last. She has had a wonderful 18 almost 19 years! She is happier than ever this year, showing emotion of a young dog.

My prayers are with your uncle and cousins. That article made me cry, really hit home for me

Also-those of you with dogs that are NOT fixed. I had never heard of this in the past, until Mollys cancer was discovered. If you have a female dog, GET THEM FIXED. Females that get fixed past 2 years old have a chance of getting cancer in the high 80-90 percentile (I do not remember exact numbers) If Molly would have been fixed when she was young, her cancer would possibly not spread as fast as it is. Please take that to heart with all of your pets.
