Binka and dancing

[mrsbrown]

Binka update: She's having her teeth extracted tomorrow, the abscess will be cleaned out and the infected lump on her rump will be removed. The lump on her face might be cancer, if it is she might be around for a shorter than expected time. Otherwise, she'll be around for a couple more months. When I asked myself if I would pay $100 per week for her to have a comfy end of life, the answer was yes. The vet was on my wavelength and was all about making her comfortable for whatever life she has left. I'll miss Binka when she's gone.

And here's a funny video of the Cassandra Bransle I saw this morning.

I'm glad you have made that decision. I had a similar decision with Soot when his diabetes was diagnosed, pay for his continual medication, or have him put down.

How old is Binka?

Binka is 11 and is a Bull Mastiff x Rhodesian Ridgeback.

She's a big dog and has had a good lifespan.

I'm glad you've made a decision, and it sounds like a good one.

And if the weight loss was the abcess, she'll be able to eat more at least.

Was she still perky this morning or did she start fading again?

She's a darling dog.

Good stuff. Even though it's an inevitability, it's always good to have a bit more quality time with a beloved pet.
I found it much easier to say goodbye to the deaf white undead whippet who just hung around forever, than her brother who lived just a couple of precious weeks after we got the dreadful news.
Time for lots of pats and cuddles and thankyou for being a tops-ace dog really helps.
Lots of warm fuzzies to Binka and family

Glad that the vet understood where you are with Binka.
