Thanks guys. The tough part is that in the past couple years, he's really become a healthy dog, almost like a puppy. But in the past few months he's been wasting away... even after increasing how much we feed him, he's lost 4 pounds in two weeks.

I'm trying not to be too melodramatic, there are more important things in the world for sure, and far larger problems. But the fact is that this guy is a real charmer and a loverboy, and we're shaken by the thought of losing him.

Best we can do for now is spoil him rotten. I went to the deli at lunch and got an extra sandwich for him. A nice ham & cheese on kaiser, with all the fixins. He'll go nuts.

We're up at the cottage for the rest of the week, so he can lay on the beach and get petted by all the girls. He loves that.
