Annabelle, my Rottweiler who had osteosarcoma, suffered a ruptured tumor in her abdomen last night. We didn't know that she had such tumor. We rushed her to the ER vet clinic where she underwent emergency surgery. Subsequent examination revealed a mass on her liver and two masses in her left hind leg (she'd already had a foreleg amputated and lymph nodes removed to try and contain the cancer). I couldn't think straight last night and I was determined to give her a fighting chance as she did so much better than ever expected after the initial discovery of the cancer, but she died a little after 2:30 this morning. They called me asking if I was them to try and resuscitate, but I opted just to let her pass on free of pain.

I can't believe I've lost another dog. I feel like all my dogs are leaving me these days (all my dogs are middle age and older now). And today is Carson's birthday. It's so hard for me to be in a good mood right now...I feel like a horrible mommy. :(

You'll find a way to put on a smile and make the day bright for Carson, it's who you are Mia.

Rest peaceful dear Annabelle, no pain at the bridge, and tell Mia hello from us all :)

((hugs)) that is so sad, my heart goes out to you. You are a fantastic Mom, you share your love and empathy for animals with your children, that is worth far more than a few extra smiles on a B-day he won't remember as he grows up. He will grow up remembering and learning compassion and understanding for other creatures.

HUGS

We recently lost Sophie to a tumor we didn't even know existed. She was my childhood dog and I miss her. I hate that we didn't even have a chance to fight it.
We know you do everything in your power for your animals, your dogs know that to.

Run free with Mia, Annabelle.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I bet those boys of yours understand some of your pain. Why don't you ask for a hug?
