Kim, I don't know what to say. Nube is such a sweet boy and I know how much you and Bruce love and care for your dogs. Our first grey, KC, a beautiful red fawn, developed osteo, left front. She was almost 13 at the time. We opted for amputation without chemo. We got 8 months. There was no Greytalk at the time so there was no one to provide advice and support which is so important. Embrace the fact that there are so many people that care and feel your pain. And give Nube an extra snuggle from me.
