I had to put my 13 year old beagle down on March 22nd. Without question, the hardest thing I've done in my life. For the longest, she had this nagging cough (almost a year). The vets played it off as allergies. Well, things took a turn for a worse and she was breathing through her abdominal muscles. I found her lying motionless in the backyard after I let her out to use the bathroom. I Took her in for tests and found out she was eaten up with cancer in her liver, lungs, spleen, and heart. I don't know if I'll ever get over her, because I hated to see her go out that way. And to think she was suffering the entire time, and I was oblivious to it.
Just over a week ago, I got a 6 week old golden retriever puppy.
Man, I am really sorry to hear about that. I have had a couple of dogs that died due to cancer. It is not an easy process to deal with. Dogs become as much of a family member as anything, and I know it has to hurt. I have empathy. I hope you get to understand and appreciate your new pup's personality. I recently lost a dog I had for 16 years to cancer, and as previously posted I just got a 2 month old mutt. I won't forget my previous pup, but the new one has really brightened my day.
