More dog drama

Dh decided to shave Bandit this morning. It's just easier to clean her up if she has an accident (which she did at 5:30am). So he brought her back in after shaving her and called me over. She has what looks and feels like a HUGE cyst/lump/tumor on the inside hip area of the leg that's working the worst. She also has a sore on her side which may be from her chewing on herself or worse. I'd love if it was treatable but at this point she's so old and I think the damage is so far gone, I don't think it will be. I'm not sure where we'd find the money to treat her either unless we borrowed it. Ugh.

Poor doggie! I'm in the same boat with Tiki, torn as what to do for her.

Wow, I'm so sorry to read about your dog...I have not had any pets in so long, since I was in school, but I know the attachment and the love you develop for a pet...They ARE part of your family....

I do like the story about the butterfly and would try to find that comforting....Good luck...

I'm so sorry for your dog and for you! It's very hard to let go of pets, even when we know its for the best. I'm thinking about you!

Sorry Karlise. I know this can't be an easy decision, but quality of life is really key for a pet. Good luck and I'll pray for Bandit!
