Praying For Riker

Dan brought Riker into the vet today and things aren't looking the best. He still can't shake this infection, is losing more hair, and the vet says there's a good chance that the 1% spreadable cancer he had spread. We are, of course, very sad mixed with a little bit of hope. For right now we are hoping that if his diagnosis is not good in the long term that at least his infection will clear up with the different antibiotics he's on now. Because of the infection he is leaking urine so we have him partitioned off in our kitchen entryway to the garage. We want him to be able to hang out with us in the living room and feel terrible when he isn't right there with us. So, if you could say a little prayer for our little dog with the biggest heart. I've never had such a gentle little thing as him.

On another note, Sadie, Dan's sister's dog who lived with his parents needed to get put to sleep today. She was really struggling at Christmas time. She was such a sweet dog too...oh man, I'm a mess! We are thinking about you all today and in the weeks to come. She will surely be missed.
