Fletch, as hard as it is you are definitely making the right decision. Cancer is such a cruel and painful disease. There is never an easy way to face it. Having seen the ravaging effects so many times, I sometimes wish we could have the same options for us humans. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Dmac
Aw man. I am real sorry to hear that Fletch. I am here at my desk at work with my eyes all teared up after reading that and seeing the photos of your dog. You can tell by the eyes what kind of dog it was. I got you guys and the pup in my thoughts and prayers my man.
you know, I read online that dogs and cats know when they are dying. They like to be left alone and will go lay in places they do not normally lay. This evening, at about 715, out of nowhere, Maggie got up (she hasnt really in the past few days) and she wanted to go outside. So she went and laid in the grass, just out of plain sight from everyone. I though it was kind of weird, but picked her up and brought her back on the deck. She laid there again for a little while, and then got up, walked over to the chair that my mom was sitting in and laid down next to her. About a minute later, she picked her head up, looked around at the family sitting on the deck, put her head down and she was gone.
Animals do seem to have some extra sense when it comes to these things. Very sorry to hear of your loss.
