So I haven't been able to bring myself to talk about this, and it's a testament to this community's closeness that I know it will break some of your hearts, too. Chibby has a suspected brain tumour, and is fading faster than I can handle. I suspect he has between 3-6 months at most, but based on weight loss over the last six weeks it could be sooner than that.

I have opted not to treat him with radiation, and if you disagree with me on that, I would ask that you keep that to yourself. These are intensely personal decisions and I simply choose not to extend his life in a way that I feel would be more for me than for him, in that he would really suffer.

Anyway - he'll be around for a few more Bruins games, by my side. I'll take all of them I can get.

Not that I have to tell you, but SPOIL HIM ROTTEN. We did with dearest Loki...he gave us 5 extra months past his diagnosis.

Caring Blessings to you and Chibby...

Sorry wrong emoticon the first time. Cherish and love him every moment. When Macaroni passed we were told he had a few months and he was gone in a week. You never know.

My heart breaks for you and Chibby. You are doing the right thing for him but that doesn't make it any easier.
I hope he is as comfortable as possible, I know you will make sure of that.

So got my check printed out and they tried explain it and it didnt make sense after awhile it was figured out myself and others werent getting the correct pay. It’s going to be fixed but man smh

Seems like they tried to pull one over on you and you caught it. How did they try to “explain it”?

Depending on how that whole interaction went i would be very suspicious of this place going forward.

Honestly I dont remember. All I knew was the math wasnt mathing. All the numbers and everything got confusing. There were all these different rates on my check and the chef and GM looked it over. I know it happened to at least 3 of us.

A friend one of their better cooks has told me he may start looking for a new job which is BAD for this place because without him his section sucks.

So sorry to hear the news. We made the same decision with our pup, and stand by it. And it was a bit of a blessing to know that his time was almost up so we could appreciate his last few days.

Best wishes.

I understand. 12 years ago my family and I went through this with 2 dogs in a span of 6 months. We could of done extra treatments but realized we would of been doing it for ourselves and not them.

It is losing a family member and I will never forget the loss.

My heart goes out to you and the pooch.

All the best.

If you live near a Zaxby's, I highly recommend their grilled chicken Philly sandwich. One of the best fast food sandwiches I've had.
