Dear Daisy

We found out today that Daisy Mae our family dog (parents, brother, and I) has cancer. She has been ill the last week and she had gained weight as if it happened overnight and she looked very bloated. Yesterday mom said it was so bad she wouldn't even get out of bed so she went into the vet and did some blood work. Unfortunately the blood work didn't show anything significant other than she was anemic (which we knew). So she went to the U of I today and had a sonogram done and our fears were made a reality. She has a large tumor on her spleen and several smaller ones on her liver. There is nothing we can do for her. So tomorrow morning she will go to heaven. I will post more later as I am so distraught I can't continue now.
