My dog started walking with a limp on the right side just a short while back. We took him to vet and they did the biopsy and they told us he has cancer in his leg. The most horrible part, she said we could cut his leg off, but in most cases the dogs only live a little longer, and there is a decent chance that the cancer invaded some other places in his body.
So we decided to treat him as best we can and give him the pain medicine and make him comfortable. But I am dreading the time when we have to put him down.
My condolences, losing a beloved companion is always very hard. In time you will remember fondly all the happiness and love they brought into the family unit and smile.
Deeply sorry for your loss, Chris. When reading your story, my feelings about my own dog started to surface. He's 11 years old, looks like 'Old Yeller', and has started to show (slight) downgrades to his 'energy level'. When the day comes and he's no longer around, well, I just don't know.
Adding my condolences Chris. Been following your doggy threads for years. Tough times I know, but having been through this (with cats) I'm pretty sure that once the pain has eased, you'll be left with a warm glow of good memories.
