Riley, Old Faithful

Thursday, April 7th, we noticed something was wrong with Riley. He has been our dog since Olivia was about 18 months old... We knew he was getting "up there" in years, but were not prepared for how fast all of this happened. He would not get up to eat dinner. Brian took him to an after hours clinic and was told his belly was filled with fluid. After some tests, it was revealed that Riley had cancer of the spleen, and the spleen had ruptured. Very quickly, we had to make a decision about what to do. Because of his age and his condition, we decided to put him down. Luckily, my mom was able to come over to stay with the girls so I could be there too. It was very sad, and we miss him so much! But we are glad to know that he is not in pain any longer...
