We lost a 14-year golden retriever, while traveling in New Hampshire. She had never been sick a day in her life. But, when she would only eat because we wanted her to, and then throw it back up, we rushed her to an emergency clinic. Alas, she had a rapidly developing pancreatic tumor and we had to let her go. We had her cremated and came back a couple of weeks later to get her ashes. Katie-Dit-It
We are traveling this summer with a 12-year old border collie that was diagnosed with an inoperable tumor involving a lung and her heart. Fire prognosis, when we left home, in July, was 1 to 3 months. She's still doing well, has competed in two agility trials and will be entered in a third next weekend. Trusted friends watch her when she runs to give in case we are too blind to see she is struggling.
The point is, we live our lives with our dogs. If the time comes we'll make the decision. Definitely, we will have any dog we loose, while on the road, cremated, and have its ashes returned home.
