Back in 2000 I responded to a thread titled just like this one and adopted a beautiful black Cocker Spaniel, Sir Winston Nestle Prancer Jr. (PJ to his friends). I can't remember the ladies name but she brought him to us from an abusive situation. I don't know if you still read the forum or not, but I hope so. I just wanted to let you know that he has led a charmed life. He has cost me a small fortune through the years with vet bills. He has been on the verge of death twice, once from attack and once from swallowing a bone. He developed epilepsy and suffers from a horrible fungal skin infection. He takes several meds every day to control both of those and a thyroid condition also.

But sadly I am afraid that this may be his last summer with us. He is getting older and sicker. I had him at the Vet Saturday and we had to have 'the talk'. I hope he improves but it is not looking very good right now. I have to weigh his suffering against my own selfishness. I hope and pray that I know when the time is right.

I want to say thank you. PJ has been a joy to me for ten years now. In the beginning it took me a week to even be able to touch him. He was so scared of any male that came around. Eventually he learned to trust me, and even some other men as well. Now he suffers seperation anxieties when we are not together.

Once again, thanks.
