My poor Dog :(

[KS63]

We had a feeling about it but had the Vet come over this morning to check him out. Large tumor on his left side that’s most likely cancer. He’s lost near a 1/3 his body weight, low energy and now he’s stopped eating. We’ve had him since he was 7 weeks old and years before our only child. I don’t think he has much left in the tank and I’m trying to hold my shit together while at work. Hug, kiss and love your pets for they love you unconditionally. Sorry for the downer of a post, especially on a Friday, but I just needed to vent a little bit. Thanks guys and Merry Christmas.

Damn, that is awful to hear! So sorry. Unless they're a dog person, a lot don't get it. Dogs are as much of a member of the family as any human, IMO. It sounds like you have a tough decision to make, and I don't envy you, having been in that position a few times in my life. Sorry to hear.

Hang in there, KS...... I know it's tough.

That's rough. Just make sure you make the decision based on what's right him and not based on how it will make you feel.

Sorry brother

Hang in there man.. fur kids are family too..

As long as you've given him the best life you could for him, I'm sure he has no complaints except having to poo outside.. so primitive.

It would be interesting to see someone train their pup to use a toilet... like a refined, modern person. My dog loves going outside, it gives him an opportunity to smell things and bark at wind.

So sorry! They become such a large part of our lives, and leave far too soon.

All too familiar with the pain you're feeling right now. But they count on us to do the right thing for them, no matter how difficult. So sorry....

Thanks for all the well wishes. I left work early today to spend some time with him and found him outside in a shallow bed he made for himself. Brought him back inside and covered with a warm blanket. Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to Niu (Hawaiian for coconut. He’s a West Highland White Terrier) and that was the hardest thing I had to do. Going to miss my reloading partner. We love and count the days until we see you again!
