A couple weeks ago Dyna went off of her food - not a good thing for a girl who "loves her groceries" as one vet so eloquently put it. The third day I noticed a bit of swelling in her cheek and thought it might be a tooth abscess. So I brought her to the vet and after the exam he said he thought it was Lymphblastic Lymphoma which is a very fast growing cancer. It was in 5 lymph nodes and he suspected lungs and perhaps liver.

We opted for the predinsone treatment just to keep her quality of life as good as possible. It worked better than not - I think it might have bought us a week or two.

She had a couple weeks of eating well and getting lots of love.

We will miss this cherished old girl. She was the "Good Dog" of our pack of Cattle Dogs.

Her loving family.
