I broke the news to the kids today. As expected, they were pretty upset. We had a good cry, and then they made a banner for Spencer. I’ll have to get a picture of it in the next few days. We talked about making “Spencer Boxes” where they could put pictures that they draw of Spencer and write him letters. And we talked about what we are going to do. We are going to enjoy the time we have left with Spencer and at the same time we are going to try to make sure that we have as much time as possible with him. I’m going to talk to the oncologist and try to set up an appointment to see the x-rays and talk about all of the possible options. And this weekend, we are going to take Spencer up to the cabin, we will go on a little hike with him. While he is still up for it. So far, he is still full of energy and doesn’t seem to tire too easily. But I remember how lung cancer went with Baron (my last doberman, he got lung cancer) and I know that things can go down hill fast sometimes. So, we are going to take Spencer’s lead and do as much as he is up to. And enjoy every minute with him.
