My beautiful, sweet lady is gone. Bone cancer in her front leg. I'm still mad & sad about it! And I can't believe it.
She started limping about 4 weeks earlier. I took her to the Vet 2 weeks later. She x-rayed and said it looked like cancer. I said no - she just pulled something. We started her on pain killers, but she didn't get better. I should've known. But I just couldn't face it - kept telling myself it would get better. Then last Friday night she went to bed, got up later & collapsed, layed there & died about 45 minutes later.
I sat with her & stroked her & told her I loved her. I told her what a good girl she was and how much I loved her and how sorry I was. Apparently that damn cancer was somewhere else in her, cuz once she went down, she never even tried to get up - she just laid there til she stopped breathing.
She was always so stoic. I never heard her bark or whine or roo or anything.
Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry. I never knew. Please know Tickertape & I will miss you forever. Please run & play & be happy there at the Bridge. Wait for us. We'll see you again. Mama loves you.
