My dog is a very good girl. She isn't in pain, and that's the most important part. Some dogs with her kind of cancer last a month, or some last a year beyond the doctors expectations. It doesn't matter to me, we are going to make every day count and make her feel loved and cherished.

I am surprised at how positive this all turned out. I love my girl, and I know she is in the best possible place to spend her final days <3

Update**
Two days ago my dog Chloe passed away.
She collapsed again, we took her to the vet and they took a blood sample. The cancer spread to her heart, and we were told that if we let her continue, she would be in extreme pain, which would need a lot of pain meds, making her almost like a vegetable. We made the tough decision to give her a peaceful and painless end.

It was the best possible way for things to go, no one could ask for a better passing. She was surrounded by love the entire time.
The vet will get a huge card and a bundle of flowers.

I won't be on the forum for a while, I need to grieve.
Thank you for your support.

I'm so sorry for your loss, run free Emily.
You made a selfless decision to let her leave sooner, that saved her a lot of pain. I am sorry though, that you had so little time left with her.

My heart is breaking for you :( I have been in your shoes several times and I know you know that you did the most unselfish, loving thing by letting her go. I bet she's running and jumping happily across the rainbow bridge. Take care, Sweetie :hug8:

So sorry for your loss, losing a dog is hard, they give so much, just wish they had as long of life span as some of our birds...
