So I bought a house this month!! It is my first house, and I'm very excited! I finally have a garage to put my car in. I just wish that Titan could have been with me to have his very own yard. It would have been his first, too.
My best friend, Titan, passed away today. He was the best dog I had ever known, and he blessed me every day I had him. I love you, buddy, and thank you. You did good.
UPDATE: 3 months later and I still find myself crying about the loss of Titan. It's worse when I'm alone because that was when he offered the most comfort to me. I have my eyes set on a new dog. I'm going to get a Dobe next. There is a breeder nearby with a couple litters due in the next month or so, so I'm going to grab one of those.
Titan is keeping his spirits up like good dogs do. We're fairly certain it's cancer, but I am not going to put him through the tests to find out for certain. Prognosis wouldn't change much anyway.
Vet told me to enjoy the time I have with him and gave me some signs to look for that it's time to put him to sleep before he has to endure serious pain or discomfort.
So it boils down to praising God for the wonderful dog that he is, the time I've had with him, and the time I have left with him.
Titan is not doing well right now. I've taken him to 3 different vets. The latest one is up in Pennsylvania that has done wonders for my sister's dog, Wendy, so I have high hopes for him.
Titan's condition is unexplained. Lab and Rad results are normal, his behavior/eating is normal, yet as you can see from the before and after pictures, he is not normal.
My prayers have been that his body will find peace.
