Dailys No Comments Dante Climbs
A video snippet I found of Dante left on some tapes I had lying around.
This was about 2 weeks before he passed away…
He was such a good boy!

Dailys No Comments Our Beloved Dante
Dante
This morning at 11:00am our beloved German Shepherd, Dante lost a battle of rapid deterioration with cancer. Dr Wendt tried to revive him but after four days of what was a mystery to us, he died of cardiac arrest. The cancer deteriorated his renal organs and his body just could not handle the shock and trauma of what it was being put through.
Dante never showed any signs of failing health until just three days ago when he stopped eating. We had thought he went out back to the river and got into the spawning salmon but the case was he was dealing perhaps sometime with this dibilatating cancer, a cancer that eventually took a strong, playful, loving and vibrant 6 year old German Shepherd that we loved, he was our son, our kid, our protector and our friend…he will be forever missed and loved!

Dailys No Comments Dante, Dante!
Dante
A couple weeks ago I mentioned to Rick that Dante was losing alot of weight so we began feeding him twice a day and he was doing fine.
Sunday he went on the trails with me and Indy and we ran and had a blast. But 2 1/2 days ago he stopped eating and became lethargic
I was goin out earlier today for a ride with Indy and asked him to come along which he does not ever need any encouragement, he could barely walk down the road; So,
I called Rick to pick him up half way down the road, he did, and then took him to the vet.
Doc just called and said he has a massive growth in his chest, arthritis and severe disc damage.
Now we have to wait for blood test to find out if the growth in his chest is cancerous or not.
Doc also said that he is supposed to have muscle growth along the side of the top bump of the cranium that dogs have on their head and he has nothing there. I put on his winter blanket tonight and gave felt his hind leg quarters and chest and it was pretty much skin and bones
So, I’m not sure what is going on…I’m just praying for the best!
