The vet gave her just a few weeks to live. Came on so suddenly. She started limping this week so I made an appointment to see the vet for today. Worst news hearing that. Just going to make her comfortable until the pain is too bad.

That's terrible. Feed him/her a big old fast food hamburger for me, please, and spoil the heck out of them -- and yourself.
just hang in there
death is part of life and the love of your sweet pet will give you the strength to help them to the other side best you can
i cant tell you how many little ones passed in my hands but then all of it prepared me for my moms death two years ago this week
love heals everything acceptance is key to appreciating the moments of life still shared
Pet insurance with Lemonade. $29 a month for my guy and deductible is only like 250
I am so sorry to hear that. Poor sweet girl. I am sure you gave her a wonderful life and that she is loved tremendously. I will pray for her to feel comfort and peace. God bless <3
Sorry Fren, that one hurts! 🇺🇸
I got choked up just reading your post. I'll say a prayer for you and your fur baby. So sorry you have to go through this!
I’m so sorry
I've walked in your shoes. You are doing all you can but it is heart breaking. All of our love.
Do not wait too long to make a decision if it's osteosarcoma. I've seen the aftermath of a dog's leg breaking because the owner waited to long and the dog suffered, a lot. Make a decision to let her go when it's time and you'll thank yourself later.
Be prepared for things to get very rough in the coming days. Lost my old dog to the same about 6 years back. One of the hardest things I’ve ever had to endure. Got so bad by the end that she couldn’t even stand to relieve herself properly. We eventually had no choice but to put her down. I still keep her ashes on a bookshelf in my room. Make your peace and cherish the days you still have left to share.
HUG <3 I am so sorry, my dear fren. Love her now, and rejoice that you have known such a Love -
Love Lives Forever.
I’ve also had a dog suddenly taken by cancer. It is the most powerless that I have ever felt in my life, including this past year. Especially in that context, I know that you will be especially tempted to despair. However, listen to me, when I say this: Every day that you have with her, tell her thank you, try to be grateful for still having her, and focus on that day. There’s no need to rush the pain, or dwell on memories. She is still here. I guarantee, 100% guarantee, some seemingly innocuous event, from the next few weeks, will be one of your three greatest memories of her life. She is still here.
I don’t know if you are religious, or not. I’m not going to lecture you about God’s plan, because this isn’t the time. Just let me say, your friend has run her race. She will have earned her rest. Dogs lives are so short, because they have too much love; if they lived any longer, they would explode. But, just because their lives are too short, don’t let this lead you to believe that your adventures are over. I believe, with all of the conviction of my conscience, that your adventures are only beginning. Your dear friend is a permanent part of you, as inseparable from your being, as your bones. From the day you first laid eyes on her, she will be with you, every second of every day. Forever.
Your friend is just going for a nap. She will be made young, healthy, strong, and whole. In the blink of an eye, for her, you will hold her again, at the Rainbow Bridge. You will walk across, together, then you will do the most wondrous things.
God bless, and Godspeed. You are strong enough. Don’t be afraid to ask others to lend theirs, too.
I’m sorry fren. I think it’s fair to say that most here would be there for you if we didn’t have to stay anonymous. I lost the coolest dog in the world to bone cancer a real ago and can relate. The thing that I know that helps me keep my shit together over it, even now, is this: These doggos, at some point in prehistory, made the decision to partner up with man and throw their lot in with us, all in, 100%. They’ve been by our side and partnered with us in establishing western civilization, earning their cherished place in our social hierarchy (another reason why any culture that condones using dogs as food is, by definition, a bunch of fucking degenerate savages). Anyway, in exchange for their pure loyalty and love, our part of the bargain, as mankind, is that we are now charged with taking full responsibility for their lives and well being. Unfortunately, that responsibility extends all the way to the end. When it’s time for us to help them go, it’s our solemn duty to do it right. Part of doing it right is to mourn openly and honestly and leave our hearts bare, and to just be really sad. Savor every possible moment with that dog in the time that remains. To my understanding, every legit Christian faith, catholic and Protestant, affirms that we will be reunited with our dogs in heaven. This is how I know there is a benevolent creator who loves us - he set us up with dogs to give us a hint of the joy and love that’s waiting for us in the afterlife. I’m really, really looking forward to heaven when my time comes and I will do whatever is necessary to get there because there’s a bunch of cool dogs waiting to meet up with me when I arrive. Hang in there pede - do right by your dog. You two are in my prayers this evening,
Everything day is a blessing and I never regretted spending every single moment with my dog in her final days about a year ago since she passed. Keep them company. My dog showed me the importance of fighting and living for life, and how every single day makes a difference, even when someone's time is almost up on this Earth. Never give up.
Fuck cancer.
Sorry to hear, Pede :(
Pets make life worth living.
This made tears in my eyes. I can only tell you that the pain eventually lessens, and then almost goes away, but never really. Be grateful for the blessing you had in her for the while she was here. Then, in a bit, take in a rescue in her memory. Life goes on.
Pray for her.. I'm sorry for your pain..
Their small lives take up great space in our hearts. It's a very hard thing you are facing. I'm so sorry. Dogs are worth it...even the grief. :'(
Sorry buddy 😿
Better you than the commies. F
Take her on a few trips to her favorite places. It will be worth it for you and her.
:( So sorry about this. :(
I'm so sorry. Praying for you.
I'm truly sorry.. I wish I could take it away...
:( oh
If ur in warm weather and can let it swim that really soothes them when they can't do much else being weightless in water feels good, it helped my dogs and was good to hold them close in the water those last days
What’s her name?
Posey. Named after Buster Posey. Got her right after the Giants won the World Series
Aw. That’s a great name.

I’m sorry sorry, man. Love and cherish her while you can and take solace in the fact you’ll see her again on the other side. With pets we know we’re taking on a heartbreak, but we do it anyway... and that’s part of what makes us human. I’ll keep her in my thoughts.
