I've found out today that one of my lovely little Westies has a massive tumour in her intestine. The vet says it's not operable so we are looking at keeping her happy and pain free for as long as she has left. 

we've  had a great summer in the van in Cornwall but I never imagined it would be her last...

So sad.

This is one of the down sides of pet ownership ,and I have been through it, so I know your pain,

just be positive in that you have given her your best ,

Very sorry to hear your news. We've been there ourselves. All you can do is enjoy the rest of the time you have left together. You will know when the time comes to make that hard decision we are all faced with.

Will be thinking of you.

Thanks for all your kind words. It's been a really difficult day. These are my second pair of Westies over the last 20 years so Ive had to make the difficult decision twice before but it doesn't get any easier. As SPK says I still have her at the moment.

I think we all feel for you as most of us have been in very similar situations in the past. Life is tough, make the most of the time you have left and think positive. It's horrible, but unavoidable sadly.....Cool

ggregu, such a poignant post, sad that you are going thru this again. As you can see you have support aplenty from fellow Dog lovers who've suffered the same as you have, me included. It never stops us from needing our Canine family members around us. We know the years we have with them will be so special & enjoyable that the thought of losing them will be denied by us for many, many years. I agree with others, enjoy your time together for as long as you can. You will make the decision to say goodbye at the right time, a Dog lover is one that puts the Dogs interests first-you are doing just that. My thoughts will be with you too.
