... thanks for your thoughts. I find out this afternoon the extent of the cancer after x-rays. I'm very lucky that my best friend's husband is my vet, and has been very attentive and proactive in this whole process. Plus, they also own a BMD from the same breeder so he's extra concerned. It helps to know that there are other's who understand...

I'm so sorry about your Great Pyrenees. That is another breed I've been considering. I can't imagine not having a BMD in my life, but I'm so concerned about their health issues.

I hope when it's Walter's time to go it's a comfortable as Jazz's was.
