Final dog update
If you read below you know my family's dog was sick. It was confirmed this morning that it was inoperable cancer that was around her bladder and had spread to her lymphnodes. She was put down at 9:30 am. I'm a complete mess. I know she was old, but really 9.5 years just doesn't seem that old. I can't take off work, and I feel so bad that I couldn't see her one last time. My mom is home right now holding her other dog Snickers right now. Hopefully a little more time and I can think about her without crying. I know the decision to put her down was the right one, but it's still so hard.
Cancer sucks.
Re: Final dog update
I can't even imagin how that would feel. Warm hugs!
I am so sorry to hear this, have you ever read the rainbow bridge? It might be a nice thing to send your mom.

Oh no!!
I am so, so sorry for your loss. Why can't our pets just live forever? I know it hurts... but I am so glad that you and your family were able to give her a good, loving home for her short life. Take care and I hope you feel better soon.
Ditto! I wish they could live forever! It's so hard to let them go, even when you know that you are doing what you have to. (((Hugs)))
i know how you feel, many times over actually. over my lifetime, i've lost several doggie friends, and it's always hard. i just have to remind myself that i did the best i could, they were always happy, loved and taken care of, and that they're now in a place where there is no pain and no suffering.
we lost a dog this past fall, and we still miss her, but it has gotten easier. would your mom appreciate something like a little scrapbook of pictures you could make for her? i made one for each of my dogs, and even years later, i like to look through them every once in a while.
This! *hugs* to you!
