Hug your pups

Your friend has made the right decision. I would have done the same. I have Scottish Terriers. They are 18X more likely to develop TCC than other breeds. My white Scottie has a repeat cystoscopy on Friday, but so far there hasn't been any cancer. They did run a test this week to see if she is shedding any cancer cells. But she isn't well, I can tell. Not sure what the vet will see, but we will not extend her suffering if we get bad news. I don't think her time is upon us though.

Praying for your friend.

Thank you for the support and prayers. I will pass this along to my friend. I think when going through this kind of stuff, it's helpful to have friends who really understand or have gone through it. They are tough decisions to make. This is the worst part of loving these furry creatures.

I'm grateful that my husband and I had the opportunity to go see her and say our good-byes.
Maybe it sounds odd to be that involved with a friend's dogs. But most of our closest friends are dog ppl with the same mind set as us, and I can't help caring about their pups.

It appears our wee girlie may have some form of cancer as well. The vet is now convinced that's what it is. We had to leave our winter roost and are headed back to Indiana and we will take her to Purdue for a definitive diagnosis. We won't do any chemo or radiation, but we do want to keep her comfortable as long as we can.
