she goes in a week tomorrow, im away on business for 3 days that week, so im going to be on tender hooks until the wife calls me.
the only thing i cling onto, is that we give our dogs the best life they deserve mate. Someone recently said
"your dogs dont know how lucky they are!"
i could only reply
"Nor should they know how lucky they are"
we love them as part of our lives and family

Absolutely spot on as to me they're family too.
Amazing animals.
All the very best, fingers and everything crossed for your dog and thoughts to your other dog too as it must be difficult for him or her too.
They know just how much care and love you show and return it tenfold.
Nikka absolutely adored her mum and gave her a million kisses or more, as for me I had more off the neighbors dog. Having said that quite often she would come sit by my feet and wanted hugs which was truly fantastic.
A few seconds prior to going to Rainbow Bridge she wrapped her paw around my wife so tight that she now has a scratch on her wrist. Took a photo of it as a reminder of just how much she loved her mum.
The morning of having take her to the vets I said to her (want to go ta'tas) she got her stroke ridden body off the floor and still with her poor balance took 2 steps towards me but then her body wouldn't take her any further. At this point I became even more of a wreck.
I do question myself of if I should have given her a fighting chance to get better by trying medication but it was only a 30% chance that she would get better but they said she'd be left with her head leaning to the left. Couple that with her lungs were scarred (left her with coughing and shortness of breath) after getting lungworm 4 years ago I think I made the correct call.

As much as that must have hurt you all deeply, you did do the right thing mate...as difficult as it must have been. Sometimes we have to put our personal feelings aside and do whats right for the poor dog.
The memories you will have from her will be immense and life with you all for ever
much love mate, i'll keep you posted on my Jess, bless her. I know im going to be in a right state when that sad day comes.

Cheers mate and once again the very best of luck and hope all goes well.
The day the hurt comes does in time become outweighed by the fact we provided such a loving and caring home which is why I guess it is what we do.
Good luck Jess. Xx

well Jess my 12 yr old black lab had her lump removed, aggressive cancer, they removed what the could and she has 4 layers from internal to external stiches in her rear left leg.
Vets said it will more than likely come back in some form, and we could keep operating on it, but im not putting her through that every 6-9 months.
we will have to see what happens now

Hi mate. Sorry that I hadn't replied sooner.
Sorry to hear that it may likely come back but I'll be keeping everything crossed that it does not.
If it did mate then I'd be the same in not putting her through that every so often.
I wish her and all that love her the very best.
Xx.
Thanks for the update and fingers well n truly crossed.
