Hi! This is Spider, writing on behalf of Goshé and James.

Goshé is ten years old, and has been James' beloved companion for his whole life: quite literally, as James met Goshé the day after the pup was born. The two of them are truly inseparable, and so it was completely heartbreaking when Goshé was diagnosed with lymphoma in August.

All funds raised will go directly to Goshé's care. James is currently about $3200 into chemotherapy, and we expect 5 to 6 more sessions, so a total of 9.2 to 11.2k. We will adjust our goal as actual expenses are accrued.

I am handling the administration of the GoFundMe in order to take that burden off of James. I love them to pieces; they're one of 6 people whose calls ring through to my phone no matter what.

From James:

"He's 10 only. He's not showing much other signs of aging. He loves hiking. He jumps three feet in the air over and over in excitement when it's time to go to the bathroom or go for a drive. He has lots of energy but this is gonna kill him.

His birthday is February 2nd. I love him even though he's an Aquarius. I met him the second day he was born. After he was born. Not the second time he was born. "

Thank you so much for reading this far, and for any support you can give, whether that's donating or sharing their story on social media.

We know how this story ends: this disease kills Goshé. That sucks. What we hope for, and what we are asking for, are as many good days as possible for Goshé and James, followed by as easy and gentle of a goodbye as possible.

Thank you again.
