Thanks for that information. I need to get one for Sadie.

I have a harness I can send you. It was for my dog that passed in August. It really helped me move him around. He was a big ole boy!
It's just sitting in a bin. You (or anyone else that needs it) is welcome to it.

Thanks for all the good thoughts.

Unfortunately, things are not looking good. There's a chance the mass is not malignant, (and we'll have to wait a week or two for the slides to come back), but the vet isn't sanguine about the prospects.

So, it's time to prepare for the inevitable over the foreseeable future. I will not let my girl suffer. That's our job.
 
Ensuring that our pets do not suffer needlessly is an important and heavy burden. I understand why some people cannot face that choice and let their pets suffer rather than making the choice to end their suffering while they still have some quality of life left. I'll never forget feeling my dog Chachka go in my arms, and the weight of having made that choice is always with me, but I know that I made the right choice and holding her prisoner in a failing body to spare myself the choice would have been wrong. Knowing it was right doesn't make it easy, but it does make it bearable.

As you said Blues Blues , it's our job.
 
Blues: I hope Skyler will be okay. Waiting for results is really hard, especially for people used to being in charge of situations. Skyler is lucky to have an owner who cares and has priorities straight. Hang tough..

Been there. Smoky, my Weimaraner, died being held in my arms. When he took that last breath after getting the shot, it was like a part of me died right there with him.

I cried more over him than I ever have over anything in my life...but I couldn't let him suffer a day longer than necessary.

I know exactly what you mean, Elliot. I went through that a 5 weeks ago with our old guy, Hank. Absolutely tore me up, and I still find myself thinking about him daily. But after everything we'd been through together, I owed it to him to be by his side.

No matter how long a dog lives, it's never as long as they should.

Smoke and prayers for Skyler, and let's hope the tests come back with encouraging news. 👊
