Its been awhile since I've shared an update so I thought I would let everyone know how Tux is doing.  If I would have updated everyone a couple a weeks ago I would have said that Tux is doing great, walking around, eating, and very independent.  However, last week Tux had a turn for the worst.  He stopped moving around as he normally does and he stopped eating independently.  It seemed like we were moving backwards.  Something was just not right.  He had to stop and rest several times when he would make his way outside.  He would even lay down outside before he would get up to pee (and we live in Wisconsin and it's been really cold) We had to bring him food and water or he wouldn't eat or drink.  Then we started noticing all these bumps all over his body.  So on Friday we took him to the vet. Our vet asperated several of his bumps and said that he has a form of round cell lymphoma.  He couldn't tell us what kind until he gets the pathology back.  So we took Tux home to wait for the pathology.  Over the weekend he has gotten more weak.  He has spent the last couple of days laying on the cough between mom and dad.  The vet just called ten minutes ago and told us that he has poorly differentiated sarcoma.  Bad new.  There is nothing more we can do except love him and give him all treats he wants.  He has been through so much in the last 6 months it is time for us to let him go. What a hard decision.  We love him so much.
