That's such a sad story! I have a sad story too -- I am a super spy and one time I was spying and the other spy shot me in the knee. Ouch!
: I have had my german shepherd Shelby for 13
: years since she was a puppy. Long story
: short ... basically 1 month ago she started
: to lose her appetite and become very
: lethargic. After xrays, bloodtests, more
: xrays, the ultrasound and finally the blood
: cytology, the results came back that she had
: squamous cell carcenoma ... cancer in her
: throat. The surgeons got back to me the
: next day with more bad news that the cancer
: had spread too rapidly and had wrapped
: itself around her saliva glands. Also there
: are too many major arteries around there so
: surgery was out of the question. Chemo was
: not advisable either as she would just lose
: her appetite. Last step was a homeopathic
: doctor which helped the swelling go down a
: bit but was no cure.
: It then became an issue of keeping her
: comfortable for as long as possible but
: making sure she wasnt suffering.
: That was a week and a half ago.
: But she has taken a turn badly today and i
: am thinking that tomorrow i may have to put
: her down. It is really such a difficult
: decision. I dont want her to suffer but she
: still looks at me with love and is so happy
: to see me. I really don't want to let her
: go, but i don't want her to suffer.
: My sister always told me that "When the
: time was right you will know. This dog is
: your dog and noone has the bond that you 2
: have. Only you will know."
: I don't even know if anyone will read this.
: I am sorry for my long depressing story and
: i don't even know why i am writing here.
: Maybe cuz i think the other ppl who might
: read these forums are animal ppl too &
: will understand where i am coming from.
: I guess I just wanted to share my stories of
: my beebee ... the sweetest spirit i have
: ever met in my entire life. She has the
: softest kindest demeanor luving to run with
: other dogs in the park but most of all
: loving to chase her ball. I know tomorrow
: is gonna be one of the hardest days of my
: life ...
: I know i gave her the best life possible ..
: she was my everything for these 13 years ...
: BUT still it is so difficult.
:
: Once again i apologize for the length and
: pain in my post but i really just wanted to
: share with everyone that i am losing my baby
: and that SHE IS BEAUTIFUL AND I WILL LOVE
: HER ALWAYS.
:
: THANK YOU SHELBY :D
