I'm so sorry you are going through this Steve. What a terrible situation. I pray that your treatments go well and you can live a long & healthy life with Riley. More than anything Riley wants to be with you. He'll lay with you and keep you company when you need him the most. Sometimes things happen for a reason, you found Riley at this time, after 5 years of searching because the universe knew you'd need him right now. If at all you can afford it, look into a dog walker, a pet sitter and a good kennel. I hope and pray that all works out and you can keep Riley for the rest of his life, he'll be happiest with you and you with him. He'll also be fine home alone a few hours everyday for you go through your treatment. A dog walker/pet sitter will come in handy for any hospital stays or surgeries or longer treatment times. Prayers to you Steve!
