Summary
Doing the right thing isn’t always easy. In fact, many times doing the right thing is the most difficult thing you’ll ever have to do. If you’ve been a listener of the podcast over the last six months or so, you’d know that my pitbull Zeus has been battling lymphoma. After several rounds of chemo treatments, it became clear we had to let nature run its course. For quite some time I held onto hope that Zeus would make it through. I wanted to hold onto him as long as possible. Unfortunately, his condition had progressed to a point where our family decided we had to put him down. Though it was difficult it was the right thing to do to keep Zeus from suffering. As we work through losing a friend, listen and find out why it’s always the right time to do the right thing, no matter the circumstances.

| 0:40.0 | Yesterday, so today we're recording on a Tuesday, which if you're watching the |
| 0:45.4 | Facebook live you know that it's Tuesday, but when you listen to this podcast |
| 0:50.0 | at Ware Saturday, but yesterday, Monday, we had to put Zeus down, and if you've |
| 0:56.6 | been listening to the podcast for a while, you know that Zeus has been sick and battling |
| 1:00.8 | lymphoma for the past 18 months. and this past week we ran out of options for him for chemo treatments. His |
| 1:10.3 | lymphoma became resistant and there were no good viable options that weren't going to put |
| 1:17.1 | him at more risk for harm than good. |
| 1:21.2 | So we elected as a family to give him comfort care and his |
| 1:26.9 | lymphoma in the absence of any chemotherapy. Not only was it resistant, but it was extremely aggressive. And so in a span of seven |
| 1:38.5 | days he went from our smiling happy pit bull to really you know declining very fast to the point where |
| 1:47.9 | we had to put him to rest and give him peace. |
| 1:53.0 | I appreciate you sharing that part, sweetheart. |
| 1:57.0 | I think it's important to give a little bit of background on what I thought was why this hurts so bad. So this was the first dog |
