Foster

Short post today. We had to put Foster to sleep today - we are truly heartbroken. This morning we woke to find him in terrible pain and unable to sit down or walk - he was just standing there shaking. We took him straight to the wonderful vet that we used on Thursday and she told us the test results had come back indicating that he was suffering from a condition called Cushing Disease which is a tumor on his adrenal gland. The prognosis is very bad for this condition. Foster, a gentleman to the end, spared us the agony of having to make a difficult decision - there WAS no decision to be made. We said goodbye and held him while he went to sleep. We are devastated. That's all for today.
