SexyEnglishBabe said: Last week me and my husband took our dog of 15 years to the vets as she had a lump on her stomach..
We found out she had tumours on her mammary gland and unfortunately they are malignant,we are advised that because of her age she may not wake up from the anaesthetic if they were to operate..
So we have decided to leave her operation and keep her on pain medication,as long as she isn't in pain we want her to have as many days,weeks,months etc with us..
Me and my hubby have been together 17 years and she was our first ever pet when we first moved in together 2 years later,she has been our rock and it is heartbreaking to see her deteriorate in front of our eyes..
We decided early on that we will never have kids,so we've put all these years into loving her and to lose her is gonna mentally kill us...
Well anyway...I'm sharing for anyone who is in a similar situation or can hopefully share and give me comfort along the way...
It is soul destroying and i can't stop crying,so any comforting words will help
Thankyou xx
A long time ago, when I was in a relationship with someone else we had a cat. Cleo, I was never allowed a cat when I was a boy and I loved cats so when I found out that my then girlfriend had one and the sweetest most petit cat I had ever seen I really grew to love her.
We became a family and she would sit by the door waiting for me to come home from work almost every day. She would curl up with me in bed and loved being cuddled. Then I split with my girlfriend, two years later with got back together. However about two years before we split again -for the last time- Cleo was getting older, her back legs were going, I had taken her to the vets more than once over a cold that took a lot out of her and then one day she fell out of the window and died.
...and I never realised how much an animal can be as part of the family as any person and it was really heart wrenching that she had gone. It continues to be sad but I found the good memories start to outshine the memories of when she died and when she was unhealthy and thinking about her now makes me laugh and smile more than anything negative. Time will heal the heartbreak just give it a chance
