Im so very sorry Shirley, I know how fast these tumors grow. The greatest gift of love you can give Scooter is to set her free.
Hugs

I am sorry Shirley and Scooter that your ending together didn’t go as you hoped. However, speaking for myself, as much as it hurts, holding my beloved pet in my arms as he or she goes to the Bridge gives me a closure and a sense of peace I wouldn’t otherwise have. Even though it hurts like hell.

To Shirley…My thoughts are with you and my prayers to Scooter..I too found out how fast aggressive cancer is.. My 2yr old golden Harry passed away last year after what we thought was a successful treatment with Chemo and radiation and two surgeries…We did double his life so in that we feel good…but when we found it back one year later it was uglier and faster than we thought…We did try to enjoy his last days with us but there is a sadness knowing we have to prepare to say goodbye…I know the stress of knowing when to say when…it is a hard place to be…

Shirley and Scooter - bless you as you both take this journey together - I lost my beloved border collie, Harry, almost one year ago to cancer - my other two dogs and one cat slept around him almost in a circle, until I had to make the decision for my dear boy - prayers for you both.

Difficult—to lose a pet at any age is traumatic—my thoughts are also with you, Shirley, and Scooter.

Aaahhhh…..this brings tears to my eyes. Euthanizing a well loved pet is very hard no matter what the circumstances.

Give your friend a hug from me.
