I am so sorry to read this, Trish! This really has been a sad few days, but you are right about the pain being bearable because of the love that is shared with our dogs and our friends on GT!
What a sweet face! Congratulations on your "first planned foster flunk" - I hope she has a long time with you and that they got all of the slow-growing tumour.
I'm so sorry to see this sad news! I was hoping that the Dragon-slayer would have more time with your family but God bless you for being able to see when it was time to ease his suffering.
