Today I am sad because the growth on our Golden's lip has turned out to be a melanoma. We are going to do the surgery depending upon how invasive it is and there is a chemo for melanoma that would buy about two years. She is another heart dog and just wants to be with us. We shall see... any pain.... we will rethink the whole thing for her benefit. It is hard to face this, but love says do it. She will be 13 on the 11th of this month.

Fran, I'm very sorry to hear this. You, your family, and especially Maggie will be in my prayers.

How sad...I look at my Arthur getting older and it breaks my heart. I have to pick him up to put him on the bed with me.

How is your dog now?

Oh Fran, I am so sorry to hear this and I certainly will pray for you and Maggie that her cancer has not spread, but if it has I think you will know when it is time to let her her go.

I lost a very wonderful companion who was 15 years old. She was just such an intelligent dog. When her time came I just cried and cried over that decision and my wonderful Mom and her best friend took her to the Vets for me and brought her body back to me and we buried her in our back yard with a little headstone we made.

Most of our animals have lived long lives and with each one we were just overcome with grief. We haven't replaced them, but have gone on to have other animals to love. Time seems to help, but having animals in your family I think is a must. Most are just so loyal and seem to know when you need them around you and are quite loving at that time.

Darn it.........we had this same thing happen to us with our neat dog Fred. Maggie sounds like a lover and will just be happy to have you near for what time she has left. Dogs are just so loving and happy to have been here with us.
