With great sorrow Stan has been euthanatized at 3.00pm this afternoon.

In 24hours he went from being reasonably well within himself, to being unable to hold food down or able to drink water.

The vet read the test report to me today and in layman terms he had a very aggressive form of bone cancer. The tumors were de-bulked last Monday from inside his mouth to help with his breathing and were by last night every bit as large as when we started out four days ago.

He has been buried under a lone gum tree down in the bottom paddock overlooking a dam where he and I spent many hours together, it was also his favorite swimming hole.

I would like to thank everyone again for their wishes and prayers, but it was not to be. I spent the entire night with him trying to settle him down; he was in great pain and still didn’t stay comfortable for long after pain injections.

He is the second Bullmastiff that we’ve lost, but there will never be another, they have a way about them that seems to get into your heart.

My wife is just as devastated as I am, she was always yelling at him for chasing her cat, but she always said that he only had to look at her with those eyes and he could melt her heart.

Thanks again everyone.
Ian.

Ian, I am sorry my friend. I know Stan was one hell of a good dog and you guys are going to miss him.
 
Ian,

I am sorry to hear about your loss. Pets can become a very special part of our lives. You and your wife take good care of each other.

That is very sad news mate, it is always very hard loosing a dog like Stan. I always loved seeing his pics here and on the rat chat forum. He sure lived a good life though and you obviously took great care of him.

Regards Nick.
 
As an owner of two dogs that are DEARLY LOVED this is heartbreaking news. I am very sorry to hear about you loss. Take care brother.
 
Thanks to everyone, it really means a lot to me.

I went for a walk down nearly on dark to have a yarn to my mate and found he already had some company.
A Wallaby doe and Joey were striking up a conversation with him.

Ian, I'm very sorry for your loss. It brings tears to my eyes to read this unhappy news. Stan will always be in my memory as I always liked to see all the great pics of him.

Prayers and smoke sent from Amsterdam and I will raise a drink to Stan.
 
Ian, I am so sad and sorry for you. I know how it hurts to lose any pet, but to lose a friend like Stan really really hurts.
 
Sorry to hear of your loss. Sounds like a great friend. I have trouble even thinking about losing my loyal buddy .... dogs are always there for you, always. My thoughts are with ya man.
 
Ian, Chuck & I have lost canine family members in the past, and share in your pain. It is a blessing to have them with us for a time, but it hurts so much when God takes them home. Thanks so much for sharing Stan with us. You can rest in the fact that Stan's pain is gone now and he is resting peacefully!
 
I so sorry for your loss brother. I hope he is chasing everything and anything in his new home. I'll miss the pictures and stories of Stan and your many travels. God Bless.

Prayers and condolences sent for you and yours, Trumby. Stan always had a joy that showed brilliantly in your photos and stories and he always looked proud and purposeful in the shots where you'd have a knife sheathed on him.
 
Ouch, sorry to hear this Ian.

I have been in the situation more times then I care to think about and it is never easy, hang in there.

My condolences
Helle
