Wow, I can't believe this thread was revived at this time. I have that painful thought every single time I look at Shannon. It seems she greys more every single day. I just noticed today how much more grey she has on her muzzle and her chin is completely grey too. Oh, and believe it or not, (yes I'll have to take a really good picture, but even the tips and edges of her ears are grey. She's moving more slowly every day, and is less and less active. I kiss her goodnight every night before we go to bed, because I'm never sure she'll still be with us in the morning. The first thing I do when I wake up is make sure she's breathing, and give her a big hug and kiss and thank God I have her for another day. With her cancer and all the different growths she seems to have on a weekly basis, I think of losing her every time I look at her sweet, loving face. Pass the tissues please. Maybe it's been worse lately because of all that happened with that other situation (regulars know what I mean). Bless that IW, someone seeing/treating him as being disposable property maybe made me more sensitive to how little time I may have left with Shannon.
