Last weekend, our large dog broke her leg, and when they took x-rays to diagnose it, the vet saw signs of cancer in the leg. Even if it wasn't, they would have recommended amputating the leg, since the break was so high up. We waited for biopsy results this week, and even with the strong meds, she was in pain. Plus her back legs seem to have gotten weak in the last week, and at her age (12) we weren't sure how well she'd do with an amputation. So we decided to put her down. She will be missed, with her yeasty, seperation anxiety ways.

Oh how very sad for you all.
She was a beautiful looking dog. I'm sure you have lots of wonderful memories of her.
What was her name?
What a beautiful girl, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.
So Sorry! What a beautiful girl she was. It is so hard to lose the furry members of our family.
Thank you. Her name was Pepper.
Thank you.
Thanks! It definitely is, especially when they can't tell you just how much pain they are in from whatever ails them.
Oh, so very sorry for your loss. She looks like a very sweet dog.
