Tough Day

Sad story, figure I should provide a disclaimer for those who don't want it. My Siberian Husky had to be laid to rest today. I haven't had to do something this tough in a long while. She was just shy of 12 years old and I had her since she was a pup. About 5 years ago she survived thyroid cancer. She was in good health until just before this last Christmas I noticed a tumor on her leg. Tests revealed more bad news but nothing as advanced as the lump on her leg. On Thursday I noticed her fur was gone from her lump and it was beginning to bleed out. Having never seen advanced cancer before I wasn't sure what to expect, but this was ugly. I'll spare the details.

This is the only pictue I have of her handy. It's tough to go through them right now.

I recently put my beagle of 17 years down. I completely understand what you're going through and realize that this was more than a dog. My condolences...she is in a better place now.

Hey bro, I lost my pup of 14 years back in October just as quickly and unexpectedly. It hurts. My hear goes out to you. Hang in there and do remember the good times. I am lucky in that I still have my 9 year old. Best wishes.
