Bad news for Gilbert (and all the rest of us)

Our dog, Gilbert, has advanced malignant lymphoma. No telling how long he has left, but probably weeks rather than months. I think we're going to pass on all the heroic options and just let him wind down gracefully, spending as much time as possible in the arms of my young son, who absolutely adores him. Pardon me if I don't say anything clever today. Perhaps some pictures later tonight.
