    I Don't Know If I Can Type This...

    Bull went to vet's today because of some ongoing shoulder pains and we discovered that he has bone cancer in his left shoulder. My options were chemo which would give him maybe 2-3 months or amputate the leg at the shoulder which is not really an option because his rear end is not great. So we made the hard decision to not let him suffer so next week we are going to let him go. I can't stop crying and I don't know if I'll be able to do anything the day we let him go. Just had to let it out to someone who would understand. Thank you all for reading.

    Oh, Andie, hugs to you and a belly rub to Bull, he knows he is a loved doggie, and that will stay with him through it all. In fact, give him a kiss from me, okay?

    oh my goodness, I am so sorry for you and your dog. I just came across this thread and I dont know you or Bull but I do understand what you are going through. I had to have my doxie put to sleep several years ago; it is hard, very hard. Just keep telling yourself he will not be suffering any more. Again, I'm very sorry for all of you. Kay in NC
