Cody sat down beside me on the couch one day and just stood there like a weird person. I guess he felt ignored, so he didn't move to get my attention haha. 😂😂😂

I know some of you are following Cody’s account because of Sparky, so I would like to give you an update about him. He’s 14 now and we have him for 5 years.

He’s near the end of his life. He’s had some hip issues for a while now. He would fall and I always have to assist him so he can get up. His hip issues cause him to p**p in the house without him noticing it. Some of you know that his spleen was taken out in April because the vet found out that it had a potential to become cancer. Well, a month or two ago, as I was giving him a bath, I found an infected lump on his thigh. I knew that it was cancer the second I touched it. I brought him to the vet and they diagnosed him with heart murmur and confirmed that the infected lump that I found was indeed cancer. He got a surgery later on to take the tumor out and had biopsy. The result came out as a high grade type of cancer that would come back and metastasize. I brought him to the oncologist the other day and she told me that Sparky has up to 6 months to live. She gave me three options: chemo, pills or do nothing. I chose do nothing. She told me that the first two would give him side effects. I know it seemed heartless to not do anything to extend his life, but I felt it was more heartless if he has to suffer greatly when I know he only has a few months to live.

Well, last night at 3am, I woke up to get water and I found Sparky crying in the kitchen because he fell again and couldn’t get up. But this time he p**ped himself and he was covered. I cleaned the kitchen and gave him a bath. And that’s how I found another lump again. I don’t know if it’s another tumor because the oncologist did check him and said she didn’t find anything.

Anyway, last night really made me realize that Sparky is near the end of his life.

To anyone who doesn’t know, his other nickname is “My Gentle Giant”. People would be scared of him because he’s such a big dog, but as soon as he approaches you, all he wants is a pet on the head. He’s the calmest and most gentle dog one could hope for.

Just found out after a routine checkup that Sparky may have cancer due to an enlarged spleen. The vet would like to have a surgery to confirm this. If they confirm that he has cancer, he will only have 1-3 months left. If he doesn’t, then he will live longer. We don’t have a choice but to proceed with the surgery because the vet said that even if he doesn’t have cancer, his spleen will still get bigger and will burst if not removed, causing him to bleed internally and die miserably. This just sucks because someone hit my car two weeks ago but didn’t leave their insurance info so we also have to pay for the expense of repairing my car.

Sad news.. Sparky being of old age is now showing signs of dementia and weakness and Cody was just diagnosed with diabetes today and he’ll be in insulin for the rest of his life.
