Yes, we had a sweet beautiful yorkie named Scrunchy. He was only 2 years old when we found out he had lymphoma sarcoma with a tumor in his lung. I was going through nursing school and noticed his respiration count at rest was very high. When we went to the vet they did an xray and diagnosed it. The vet said it was unusual that a young dog would have cancer at such a young age. We went through chemo treatments for a couple of weeks. The cancer went into remission for a month and then came back with a vengence. It was the most heartbreaking time and I just remember what a joy he was even with the short time he had on this earth. From then on I vowed to always have a yorkie in my life. Of course now I have three yorkies that bring us so much joy. There will always be a place in my heart for Scrunchy and it brings me a smile everytime I think of him. |
