I think i've talked about pesto before. My lovely, smelliest dog in the world.
He protects me when shane is away.
I bought pesto out of the back of a pickup truck in the parking lot of a mall in victoria. Before i was married. Shane and i loved him like a child. The sure sign of a young couple destined to marriage and children is when they start to purchase pets together.
It might start with an aquarium, or a kitten. Personally, i don't think rodents count.
Pesto is 11 years old now. He suddenly has little tumors. He still acts like a puppy, but he is getting old. He is getting them removed next week and then i will know if it's cancer or something more benign.
I'm hoping for the good news to come, because my heart can't take death right now and all the discussions with children.

Aw, really hope Pesto is okay. *hugz*
My dear Goldie is 11, too. Every day I look at her and my heart breaks a little, knowing we don’t have many more years together.
She is getting all lumpy and cysty too.
Thinking good thoughts for Pesto. What a great name…and snout.
Oh dear. I hope it all works out okay. Sending healing vibes.
good luck. i guess we take on this when we get pets. the good and the bad. the good makes it well worth it. hopefully they would agree.
My husband and I knew that kids were a certainty in our future after our much, much beloved Siamese cat (Sam) died 5 years ago – the space that he left was such a poignant reminder that our love was really meant to extend beyond the two of us.
I really hope that you get good news about Pesto.
My toy poodle is 12yrs old and she has lost alot of fat. Every time I look at her I realize that she may not be wih us for very long. I hope you get a good news.
Good Luck with Pesto. I too have an old dog, that has epilepsy, and it’s hard to think of life without him.
Love the name Pesto, by the way.
I hope the news about Pesto is good.
My mom’s dog is 13 this year and she can see the decline in her. I dread that moment in our household. I have three pets all aging in lockstep. It’s so sad that their lifespans are so much shorter than ours. Why can’t they grow old along with us?
