(972 posts)I had that conversation with my dog when she got older. I started wondering about it when she didnt wake up as I walked by, normally lifting her head up and making sure I wasnt going to leave without her.
When she started limping I had this weird feeling I needed to take an X-ray, and all by myself at night I looked at the hollow radial bone in her right front leg, knowing what that meant.
The oncologist looked at her and said well if she was 10 I might not recommend surgery and then I watched his face change when I told him of her upcoming 10th birthday. But she looks so good he said.
Am I doing this for me or for you? Do I have the right to do this? Do I have the right not to do it? How can I explain to you what you will go through? She just looked at me. Trust in the eyes of a dog.
We did the surgery and we had some more time together but more than that I cant say now. Its too hard.
But she trusted me and for that I will forever be grateful.
I understand that video all too well. Thanks for posting!
