A Message to Frisco's Friends

A message to Frisco’s friends

As most of you know, Frisco's health has been in decline for the past
year, and had gotten very bad in the past week.

Today, x-rays revealed what appears to be a tumor on the right side
of his spine, at about the third vertebra, right by his thyroid. He
got a cortisone shot, and prednazone pills, and some antibiotics (just
in case it turns out miraculously that the tumor isn't what's causing
his problems). Tonight he seems a bit better, and definitely is more
comfortable, though he still can't stand without lurching to the
right. I hope he continues to improve, so I'll have a week or two to
do all his favorite things: daily trips to the dog park, long
sniff-'n-pee walks through the neighborhood. And, of course, double
helpings of kibble, doused liberally with milk, at every meal.

The timing for this couldn't have been much better, since it comes
right at the end of my summer semester. I'll be able to spend a lot
of time with him in his last couple of weeks. Thanks, everyone, for
your expressions of sympathy. He really is a unique soul.
