Damn, those are sad stories. I'd like to think I'm tough as nails and I could handle something like that, but I couldn't. I had the best dog in the world named Stone. He was a Pitbull/Rodesian ridgeback and he was the greatest friend anybody could ever ask for. He was just like one of the guys. He sat on the couch just like a human and burped loud like a human. I loved that dog so much. I'll never be able to find a replacement for him. He was one in a million. He got cancer(Lupos)and ended up dieing. I spent an ungodly amount of money trying to keep him alive, but there was nothing I could do. I did everything I could to hold the tears back at the vets office. Before we went in he had to stop and pissed all over the entrance to the office. It was so sad because it looked like he couldn't control it and the look on his face haunts me. He was in so much pain. It hurt me to see him like that. He was such a tough dog. He was the neighborhood bully. No other dog would dare come near him. Damn I miss that dog. I know exactly what you're going through. I hope everything works out. One thing I would recommend is if the tumor comes back, it's probably best to put her to sleep. She will be suffering too much in the end. I know it's not an easy thing to do, but it is the best choice. You have to think of her and what she is going through. Good luck to you and your dog.
Here is a pic of my dog. I can't scan it so I had to take a pic of it so it looks like ----. If you look close enough, you can see his woody. He was a happy dog.

Mary. I could of sworn you just told the story of my dog. Except she is no longer with us. She had a cancer lump on her sided, just infront of her thigh, but she was too old for surgery. (16yo). At first it didnt bother her. Then she started limping. Then she wouldnt even jump on the couch or bed. We couldnt do anything but put her down so she would feel no pain. She was a part of our family for 16 years. The scheduled date w/ the Vet happened apon a day I was scheduled to work. No one there would take my shift. I left for work that afternoon knowing i'd never see her again. WHen my parents picked me up from work I was faced with a car full of crying people.

She was the best dog anyone could ask for. Friendly, fun, caring. . She would literally check in on my brother and I every night. She would walk up to the doors and nudge them open. Peek inside and turn around and leave. After she had visited both our rooms she would go off to bed. She was the best companion anyone could ask for. God rest her sole. I'll never forget her.

My american bulldog (4yrs) got lymphatic cancer, which if you know your cancers there is nothing to do about it except be selfish and put the dog through hell with treatments. We put him down once he couldn't hold liquids on his stomach. That was one big *** dog though, we got his ashes back and it was like ten pounds of ashes, hehe.

Thanks for all your kind words everyone. She's doing alright I suppose. I know she's in a lot of pain, and today, she was very naughty this morning. The doctor put a drain in where she removed the cancer to let fluids run out, and Ms. Hollie decided she didn't want that there anymore this morning and chewed it off. Rotten dog. Oh well, I took her in this morning and she got it looked at and fixed a little.

And all these sad stories, just make me want to cry. I know what you mean when you say you've lost the best companion in the world. (well I almost do) I haven't lost her yet, but I feel her time is drawing nearer. And when it is finally time to say goodbye I really don't know what I'm going to do. I will always miss how protective she is of me, and yet, as soon as you even look at her like you want to pet her, she's your best friend . She's so well behaved.....when we're home There will never be any other dog who can replace her. I am sorry for everyone elses loss. I'm doing as much as I can right now, to prolong mine.
