As many of you know my 13 year old retriever, was sick not to long ago and we thought that she was getting better. Unfortunately, she got sick again today and we took her back to the Vet who did an X-ray. It was determined that she has tumors in both her liver and stomach. There is nothing that can be done except the inevitable of having her put down and the vet recommend that we do it sooner rather than later. Because even though right now to look at her you would never know there is anything wrong with her as she is her usual bright eye and bushy tail self, it will only get worse form here. Needless to say I'm pretty upset and my mother is broken to pieces over it. We are currently making arrangements to have her cremated and it is looking like this might all go down on Monday. Isn't that just a kick in the ass? Anyway, I will keep you all informed, but if I'm not around as much or not in as good of a mood as I normally am, you will know why. Please keep my family, human and canine in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks.

Diana, So sorry to hear this very sad news. I know exactly how you feel.....a week and a half ago I had to put my 19 year old cat to sleep - he had kidney failure. It was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make as he was truly part of my family. Thankfully, I had some wonderful vets to work with who helped me cope during this difficult time. Even now, I miss him so very much.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Diana.

I want thank everyone for the kind support during this most trying time for my family and myself. You will never know how much I appreciated it and being able to come to the board and interacting with you all to distract myself during this time. I also wanted to let you know that this all going to go down tomorrow morning and I probably won't be around the board much, but I am sure Darksea and Musicfreak are willing to help you anyway they can if you have any problems in my absence.
And, NYCGal, I am so very sorry for your loss too. I totally feel your pain as my puppies are as much a part of my family as any of the human members are of it. That is why this has been such a difficult time for us as it is a long way from the head to the heart. We know we are doing the right thing for our beloved Buffy Dog, but it is going to hurt like hell to do it.
