This is my dog, Happy.
She's 11 or so, I got her from a rescue place last summer. On monday night we got some bad news, she had cancer in her leg bone. Tuesday morning she had the leg off. Wednesday morning she was running around like there was nothing wrong
She's pretty much screwed now though, highly likely some other sort of cancer will come back in 6-12 months. We got lucky in a way in that it was only a leg, and we can just whack it off with no real issues. We're not going to be able to do that next time. I feel like crying when thinking about it but realistically I'm not very likely to still have her next christmas
. Oh well I just need to be positive and think of the good times we've had in the short time I've had her, and at least she got to live out the end of life away from the s
tty dog pound 
We had a flat coated retriever who lasted another 18 months after being diagnosed with cancer, so you may have more time than you think
Enjoy the time you have with Happy.
Looks a lovely girl and in the right place
Stay strong

We rescue Dogs and have done now for over 20 years sometimes all you can do is reflect on the fact the life you give them however short is far better than the life they had.She's 11 or so, I got her from a rescue place last summer.

Self indulgent moment if you'll allow me please. 12 months without my apprentice painter. Miss him everyday.
Mrs. doesn't really want a dog at the moment so come here as often as I can to get a fix. Please keep posting for those of us that don't or can't have a dog right now. Especially Cockers
