Izzy

I recieved an email from my mom yesterday telling me that my dog is sick and at the hospital. I've had Izzy since I was 2 years old, and he is pretty much my 3rd brother. I really don't know what I'm going to do when he's gone. My mom said she had to pick him up off the floor because he was having trouble, and he's been really slow. The last thing I heard was that the vets think it may be cancer. I don't know how to deal with this, and at the same time I may be overreacting. We don't know for sure that it's cancer, maybe he's just sick and he'll get better. However, with his age and how much he's been slowing down over the last couple years, I have been jumping to the worst case scenario right away. If there is any thought about letting him go, I will be driving home in a heartbeat, no matter what day it is and what classes I will miss. I'm just hoping for the best.

Izzy has just been around for so long (as far back as I have any memories) and I can't imagine what it would be like if he isn't around anymore. I just hope he has more time.
