The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

Re: Banning
Thank you all.
We spoke to the vet today. She read the radiology report.
She advised against surgery which was our thought anyway. 95% chance it does nothing and only causes all of us pain, especially Banning.
She said the tumor is a time bomb and we have days or a week or two maybe.
We want him to go with dignity and pride.
We send him to a better place on Thursday morning.
Today he got ice cream and duck and fish and turkey. He got many belly rubs and I took the day off from work to cuddle him and spend time with him.
Katie and I are utterly heartbroken, and in tears every few minutes, but know we are doing what is best for him. That’s the most important thing.
Thank you everyone again for your support, thoughts, and prayers.

I know how you feel, and how difficult this is...but it's the best option you have & it's in Banning's best interest. Hugs!

I'm so sorry to hear this. I went through a similar situation with one of my dogs a few years ago. The first 4 years of his life were rough, but at least I got to give him a wonderful last 4 years before he passed from a similar cancer/tumor. I completely lost my mind for several weeks until I decided that I was always going to look for less adoptable dogs. I ended up with a 70 lb destructive shepherd with anxiety related aggression issues....the rescue volunteers cried when I signed the adoption papers. It took about a year of work, but he is currently super sweet and a model citizen. I'm always thankful that some good came from his passing.

Re: Banning
This is the first post on Ball-Pythons.net that made me cry. When I saw those pictures and that little guy's sad face and your sad face, it is making me weep. I had to put down our last dog as well (a poodle) and burying a loved dog is one of the hardest things to do. But then leaving them at the vets is a hard call too. It's a lot like losing a human loved one.
I have a Yorkie poo who is a lot like your dog (but 4 yrs old.) He also sleeps beside me sometimes. When the time comes to lose him it is going to about kill me. That is why I told my wife this dog we have now ( Buster ) will be our last. Too hard to lose them. I am glad you have other dogs and animals that helps a lot. So sorry though for your loss. I know it really hurts to lose one really close to you like that. Thanks for sharing your post and the pics. Time really does help heal though.

Sorry for your loss Dave & Katie. It's never an easy choice to put a loved one down even though it's the right choice. He looks like he lived a good life.
