Could I get some of those Lounge vibes? My dog is very sick. (Dial-up warning for pictures)

[JTG of the PRB]

My mom texted me this morning to tell me to call her as soon as possible. When I did, she told me that the family dog, Jake, is very ill. He's been slowing down over the past year, not going as far on walks, taking his time to get up and move around, and generally just seeming like an older dog. Well, apparently the other day my sister was home and saw Jake have a seizure, so my mom got him into the vet's right away. He has fluid on the heart and some sort of unknown mass somewhere near his intestines - possibly a tumor of some sort. My mom says he's barely been moving the last day, hasn't been eating, and is just generally just very sick and tired.

My poor doggie. :( We adopted him in 2002 when he was around 1 1/2 years old, so he's about 10 years old right now (give or take a few months). Jake is a mutt, mostly Border Collie with some larger dog mixed in - probably Great Pyrenees - and he is the sweetest damn dog I've ever met. Beautiful brown eyes, very friendly toward everyone, and his tail is almost always wagging.

I don't want to lost my poor dog, but I don't want him to suffer anymore, either. Tomorrow morning, since I have the day odd, I'm heading down to Boulder to pay what is likely my last visit to Jake. Any vibes you can spare for him would be appreciated.

For those of you curious, here's a few pictures of Jake from the last few years:



He's very camera-shy, so you have to be quick to catch him.



Lazor eyes!



My big, beautiful boy...
