It is with great sadness I am letting you know that we said goodbye to Dino on Nov 7. We believe that we made the most compassionate choice, ensuring Dino had dignity and comfort in his final days. It is very painful, and he is missed dearly.

When we were supposed to be celebrating Dino finishing chemo last week, we instead got some very bad news. It breaks my heart to tell you all that the cancer has spread to Dino's lungs. There's a short update on the blog and the GoFundMe is still active.

Dino had his fourth chemo treatment this week, and he is doing great. He had an X-ray and as far as they could tell, the cancer is not spreading! We are so relieved. It's been a while since I did a blog post, but there's a new one up now with more details and some photos from August. We are so proud of the big guy!!
