Hello this is Elvis aka Quasimodo(Quasi). He's recently been given the nickname with love because of the resemblance. He has been diagnosed with a nasal tumor. We would've started him on treatment in a heartbeat if we could've. He started of with bad and good days, on and off. He had some depression and would not eat or drink water. It seemed like he was in pain due to some shaking. This is when the vet prescribed proxicam, specifically for the cancer. This did wonders on him and ever since he has been doing beagle things and does not show that he is in pain. Vet has mentioned with treatment the life expectancy will be a year. Of course can be longer depending on the health of the dog. He thinks with Elvis being young and other then the tumor he is a healthy dog. This is a pretty good chance for him. He eats non stop as usual and running as much as he can. The lump has gotten much bigger though and of course it's hard to see him like this. I brought it up to my spouse and it wasn't easy, but maybe it was best to put him to sleep. We were conflicted, we can see that he still full of life, but we would not be able to move forward with the treatment. So we decided we would put him down. On April 24th he was scheduled to be put to sleep. At the time we had a week left with our Quasi and I mentioned this to my kids so they can get prepared. My daughter heart broken cried the whole week. When the day came it was very dreadful and I said a small prayer. "God I'm not prepared to let him go, but I understand that it's the best thing to do...but if for any reason I am wrong, please give me a sign." When it was time to head out I had told the kids to say their goodbyes to Elvis. My son had been the one avoiding his feelings the whole week and he broke down completely. This was extremely hard, Elvis was 16 weeks old when we got him. My kids were just babies at the time, he grew up with my babies. My phone rings right at that moment and frustrated I said to myself "who can be calling, I need this moment for my kids and Elvis?" Not paying attention to the caller ID it was the veterinarian clinic. They were calling to let me know my appointment was canceled, the veterinarian had an emergency and had to leave early. I looked up and said "that's my sign" me and my spouse agreed that we would just keep Elvis a while longer and do the best we can with meds, home remedies, ect. We were not going to give up on him until he was done for sure. That's when I posted the photo that you all fell in love with and did not expect that. I wanted to show what that photo meant to me. Although Quasi is going through something he doesn't deserve, he is still living his life to the fullest. We can learn something from a pur soul. You guys came in showering him with prayers and love! Asking me how you can help and pushed me to get the help that he needed. Not one of you had to lift a finger and you'll started sharing away and giving me so much info and pointers to not to give up and share share his story. My friend a while back had convinced me to do a gofundme account and I was iffy about it. One, it's embarrassing to ask for money. Two, we are in the middle of a pandemic. Things are extremely hard for people right now. Three, who's going to pay for a dogs treatment that does seem to be over priced. I may be the type to donate for a life, but I can not make anyone understand that Elvis is part of the family. Not everyone has the exact same way of thinking. He is my personal problem and it's on me. You just feel guilty in everyway and every aspect. She told me it wouldn't hurt to try and no one is obligated to donate if they do not agree, do it for Elvis. To be honest I never pushed it and I let it sit there. It was because of you all that these donations started coming in. All of this happened the Saturday that he was suppose to cross that bridge. I told my Quasi that "God was not ready for him, because he knew he was too much to handle. Until then you're still mine!"LOL! I just want you'll to know that you'll shifted the universe for Elvis. Every single one of you have been heaven sent. You all have helped Elvis get a paw in that hospital. I don't deserve you all, but my Quasi deserves happiness. I do want you'll to know that we appreciate every single one you, I constantly have names in my head to include you'll in my prayers. These are extremely hard times for everyone, so please don't feel obligated to donate. Sharing and prayers have gone a long way. Our Elvis(Quasi) is proof of that. Thank you everyone, much love to all of you. Arooo!
