Another update: Gizzy has been sent to the Rainbow Bridge.
He got sick again tonight and went immediately to the emergency
vet, and the initial diagnosis was true - it was liver cancer, and it
was
BAD, all through his body. His eyes turned yellow. Once again, my
friend was certain that he just waited until His Boy came home so he
could see him one last time.

*sniff* He was an adorable old beagle. Now he's cavorting with
my friend's father and mother and being spoiled stupid while he
waits for the rest of his family.
