RIP Sweet Dino

Dino with his friend Aria

I wrote about Dino back in March when the rescue first discovered that he had lymphoma. It went into remission, and he was a healthy happy dog until last Friday when he had some swelling in his leg. Apparently he developed some sort of auto-immune disease (which the medicine pushers will never admit was most likely caused by the use of prednisone!) and had blood clots in his spleen. Last night he was wagging his tail and eating like a horse, and then laid down and quietly passed away.

He was a sweet, sweet boy and he had lots of friends who have cried many tears today. He never got adopted, but he spent the last months of his life in a loving foster home, and didn't die alone in a shelter.
