Stupid Guest Tricks

I think I have said it before, but that is the hardest part of being a pet owner. They depend on us to take care of them and sometimes there is noting we can do except make them comfortable and happy as best we can.

Sorry to hear about this. Have you heard what the prognosis is?

Take comfort, as even in her final days, she will know she is loved. In her past life, she wouldn't have that.

The prognosis is pretty grim. It's an aggressive cancer that often metastasizes quickly. Even with amputation and chemo it would only prolong the inevitable and make her more uncomfortable. Generally it only has a 10-15% survival rate. The hardest thing is that she is such a sweet dog, she loves people, other dogs, babies and it is just so unfair. She and her brother are the first dogs I truly loved. Even as I lay here, tears streaming down my face for the 5th time today I am thinking about how fate is robbing us of many happy years with her. I wish I could be in Disney right now and not have to deal with any of this. I just want to curl up into a little ball and try to forget about the empty doggy bed that will soon be sitting in my home.

If you need someone to talk to, there are pet loss support groups/hotlines, and though I focus on cats, check out http://www.dogchannel.com, they should have a forum dealing with pet loss--they have on one the companion site, catchannel.com.

You're right, it sucks. But at least she's not at the place where she was abused; if her former owners knew she had this, they probably would've done something awful to her. Even if she has only days to live, at least you will have given her and her brother the love they deserve. At least she will die being loved, rather than in pain, fear and rejection had you not rescued her.

Ugh I am so sorry CMGuy, you and your angel doggie will be in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for making her days so much better than they were before and giving her a chance so share her love.

I am so sorry CMGUY about what you and your family are going through.
A family friend of mine lost his dog to cancer in November and though he has another dog,I know he is taking the loss really hard.
This dog was amazing. We spotted him at SPCA-LA back in the fall of 2003. When I first saw him, all I could say was "WOW". He was an Akita/Alaskan Malamute cross. He may have had wolf in him too. We both wanted him and though I won the drawing,I let him have the dog.
This dog was amazing. He had boundless energy and loved everyone and everything that came his way. He was only four (at least) when he had to be put down. I cried for over a week. I still can't believe that beautiful dog is gone.
At least he had some good years. According to my friend,SPCA-LA considered putting him down because he was quite a handful. Thankfully the dog had two people who saw past that "fault" and rescued him.

Thanks again for the kind words everyone. I have had a pretty rough day, it seems that my depression was sparked by this latest event and has come back with a vengeance, the last few months had been pretty good but I'm feeling pretty bad right now. I barely got out of bed all day, I only went to one class. I decided to go home to NC for the weekend to see my family and our little Honeysue. I also decided that I am not going to take the job with American Airlines, 32 hours a week is just going to be the death of me, especially while trying to balance an 18 credit hour course load. So right now I am feeling really lousy and am pretty ready to come back to Florida. Some bubbles would cheer me up...

Yeah, I'll be able to see them before they leave so that should make it better.

CMGUY, if you don't get to WDW & see OUR Bubble Ladies, I will send you my bottle. You deserve happy magical bubbles. K? :) Sorry I can't post abt your Honeysue yet. March holds beloved pet losses for me. Just a tough month as I relive. I'm thinking of you & Honeysue more than you'll ever know. Don't count me out as non caring. Rest & enjoy your time in NC. PLZ give sweet Honeysue kissess, hugs & cuddles from me & my 2 rescued American Cockers.
Oh, wait. I'll text Elena a bit later & tell her to give you a special bottle of bubbles & a very warm hug. Just tell them you are GMGUY & you're set!
