The infections have been caused by a mass near her vagina. He doesn't know if it is malignant or not, but it is probably growing, and sooner or later will block her urethra.
Surgery is inadvisable, and she is too 'action dog' for us to consider chemo or radium.
There is no indication of speed, but she has already outlived her allotted span, and still looks and acts 'full of it'. We are hoping for months.
I'm so sorry to hear. I hope she does not get much pain through it and is generally comfortable.

Thanks for reminding me. The vet said she was certainly not in any pain.
I am going to up her walks to two a day. I hate to think I might miss out through any apathy on my part.
We are going to cancel our september trip to Malta.
Cherry, be ready for the well meaning but totally idiotic people who will ask how old she is and say oh well she's had a good innings...
They don't understand that no matter how long we have with them its never long enough and most of us would give all we have for an extra month/ week / day...
Smile and know they have never known unconditional love as we have.

I remember the guy who fitted our kitchen floor saying "A dog is the only thing on the planet that will love you more than themselves.."
I also like the line "Dog is god spelled backwards."
I have had many throughout the years. But most recently I had to let my older sister and her husband have my precious Bella cause I moved back in October and can't have any pets. 😭 I think I was more upset about it then Bella was. She loves people and she's getting really spoiled over there which makes me happy.
Mine is definitely resting more, and the little spots of blood seem to be getting more prevalent.
Her leg twitching seems to be increasing too.
I am going to start putting her on a lead when we see large dogs. She has always seen herself as bigger and badder than the rest of them, and I don't want her finding out that is no longer true.
When I think of all the larger dogs she has frightened off just by lunging at them, she was amazing in that. Even as I was telling her off for it, I could see her still grinning as she walked past them, and I am sure she was muttering under her breath: "wimps"

I also had a Boston Terrier named Nibbles. My older sister got her on an impulse buy. She's more of a cat person so I don't even know why she had the poor thing in the first place.......But Nibbles eventually came to live with me and I loved her so much. She got along well with Maggie, who was a German Shepard/Akita mix. They were best friends. When Nibbles used to beg for food, she would squint her eyes and squeeze out a tear drop. I couldn't say no to that lol.
But in the end, Nibbles only lived for a year and half. She passed away four days before my birthday...in my bed next to me. I'm not sure why she died tho. It was very hard for me to get passed that cause of the way she died and where. She was buried in the back yard behind the garage.
Maggie, had to be put to sleep cause we simply didn't have the funds to figure out what was wrong with her. I have her ashes and I miss her very much still. She was a great dog. Although she shed a lot, she loved everyone.
Molly was my mom's Shih Tzu. She got her when I was around 14. She lived until she was about 14 yrs old. I think she died of a broken heart, cause my mom went out town and then she came back and then left again soon after...
So now the only dog left is Bella. My twin got her and apparently her landlord told her it was ok, but his wife didn't want any pets. So she came to live with me and I got attached.
I miss having a dog.
From this point on, I decided that I would never get another dog unless I was able to care for it the way it should be.
Its flown by , 6 years gone already... Theres still so much to do and explore so many games to play so many places to visit. Yet he is on average halfway through his lifetime.
We have them for such a short time. So we had a party just a little one, a homemade victoria sponge cake, some doggy choc chip cookies and doggy chocolate filled with turkey paste ( Bleh) but the dogs loved it..
We love them so much and they bring such joy to our lives why not celebrate every milestone?

That's wonderful, cassie.
I LOVE dogs. In fact, my family had two dogs growing up. They were truly precious.
Anyhow, dogs love their treats!
But that's the way the world is, James: if you don't look like you deserve that desk, you're not going to get that desk.

Please note I am not a happy clappy believer in sky fairies but.... I used the song over the rainbow for my boy Oscars memorial, the last photo is one of him crossing a bridge and the light that day had created a rainbow effect.
The day after his death I stood by the back door wondering how to face the world without him. I took a deep breath opened the door and was greeted by a bright bold rainbow arching the sky in front of me.
In these times of grief it doesnt matter if there is more chance of a rainbow in October than any other time , its doesnt matter that its chance or atmospheric conditions, the only thing that matters is that it gives hope and comfort and when we have lost someone so precious, then comfort is exactly what we need.
