X-rays yesterday showed why Dax's limp has become so bad. He has
cancer in his left shoulder. I couldn't see the x-rays real good
because my eyes were pretty wet but I could see them enough to know
he won't be with us for long. Got some pain pills and we will enjoy
him as long as he seems to want to be here. Then he will receive his
final injection and we will bury him up under the dogwoods where I
will one day be planted. Not sure how Benny should be involved. If
Dax just disappears one day he will wonder what happened to his
buddy. If we let him see the body, what will he think? If he sees us
burying Dax, what will he do? They have been like brothers since we
brought them home ten and a half years ago.
