In a earlier post i told ya'll about my dog Shugg. We found out 06/03 she has cancer. The vet said 2 days to a few months......reality says 35 days. I'm grateful to have had this time to say goodbye. Honestly it has been torture. She is so stoic. When we arrive home she dances like a puppy. DH gave her a bath tonight, and she ran and played, you could see how much better it made her feel. Tomorrow I have a appointment to have her put to sleep. The cancer is in her mouth, and it has become almost impossible for her to eat or drink. We have decided the kindest thing to do is let her go before her suffering gets any worse. I know this is the right thing to do, but I'm feeling very cowardly about it. Difficult doesn't even begin to cover this. Our vet promised I can stay with her. Dh has a spot picked out for her resting place in our yard, so I will be bringing her home. Please pray for us tomorrow. I pray I have the strength to see Shugg through this, and to ease things for DH. He is taking this so much harder then any of us.

Heartbroken,

Liz
