Snapshot Saturday

Snapshot Saturday is hosted by At Home with Books. Check out her blog to find links to other participants.



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.

She was a beautiful looking dog. I'm sure you have lots of wonderful memories of her.

Thank you.

Thanks! It definitely is, especially when they can't tell you just how much pain they are in from whatever ails them.
