It is with great sadness, the kind of sadness that everyone on this forum knows all to well, that I tell you of the passing of my all time favorite companion.
Marval was a great champion, the most perfect companion and an ambassador for the Cocker Spaniel breed.
As some of you know I found lumps on his neck mid April while grooming him. He was subsequently diagnosed with lymphoma. Due to an enlarged heart I elected not to do chemotherapy. That was the first hard decision I had to make...the second was when to say good bye. He did relatively well up until yesterday. I couldn't stand the thought of him failing anymore and losing his dignity. I was with him to the end.
Thank you to all of you who have learned of this on the champions list and your kind words. I appreciate every one of them and has made this much easier to handle. God Bless you all.
