    Oh Angie, I am so sorry she has been diagnosed with cancer. She is a beautiful girl, who obviously is enjoying her life. The pictures of her with her plastic mouse made me laugh, very cute.

    I'm so sorry to hear this. I know that dogs get old, but we always hope they won't.

    I assume that they don't want to amputate because of her age.

    Make the most of every day while you can and you won't have any regrets later. Prayers and hugs to the whole family.

    Yes, age and because the tumor is high on her hip.

    My sister just stopped to visit me at work and she brought her kids, ages 6 and 3. They love Toby so much!
    It's going to be so hard on them too.

    My sister is trying to decided if she is going to tell them ahead of time that Toby is sick and is going to leave to go live with Jesus soon so that they can say a proper goodbye. Or just tell them after Toby is gone.
    Toby will be burried on my parents property, so they will have a grave to visit, maybe that would be better... just to tell them once she's gone and they can visit her grave.

    Oh this is all so hard.....
    Thank you all again for your comforting words.

    We know you will do the right thing for Toby when the time comes - simply because you love her so much.

    Make the most of your time together - she is still the same lovely dog you always knew and needs you more than ever now
