We found out about a month ago that he had stage 4 cancer. He fought his way through 4 weeks, the pain meds really sapped his energy, and we never got a chance to repair his knee. He really lost his appetite earlier this week, and we decided it was time. He was only 9, but he had a "Heart of a Bear Killer" He protected my fiance and I in the bush on more than one occasion, from roaming dogs, killer bunnies, and at least one aggressive deer. My soul is broken, I have truly lost a companion.

My heart goes out, the 4-leggeds always take a little piece of us with them... Good on you for not being selfish and dragging it on for your on sake, I have seen too many people to that, and it's too bad.
 
My daughters dog started limping all of a sudden. We took her to the Vet and she has Bone cancer in the right front shoulder. She has her on pain meds, the same one that I take for my shoulder. My daughter hopes to let her make it through the rest of the summer. Her dog is 16 years old though ,it's had a long life for a large dog. Sad for you, it is tough when our best friends get to that point. Sounds like your dog was a good and loyal friend.
 
My condolences. You made the toughest decision a pet owner has to make and you made it for the love of your pet. May he be free from pain for ever more.

I don't know you, but I know the emotions you are having.

My deepest sympathies.

It may be life, but it isn't right.:mad:
 
sorry bro, it sucks to lose someone close to you. Always best to try and think of the good times you shared together.

:(
