My english mastiff Lily is only 6 years old. She is my special pup. She started limping two months ago. The vet thought is was a pulled ligament. It got worse and I noticed a lump underneath near her pelvic bone. Went to a different vet and they said it was a tumor in a bad spot. Its doubled in size in the last two weeks. Said radiation could help prolong for 6 months but not going to put her through that for such a short amount of time. I'm just going to feed her all the good stuff she wants and keep her on pain meds until it looks like she isn't comfortable. They said she probably just has a couple of months left. Man, its killing me. I'm probably closer to her than any dog I've ever had. She sleeps with me, and is a 100 pound lap dog. 6 years hasnt been long enough.

Sucks. My buddy's dog has it also. Got a few months left with his ol' friend, but the ball on his forehead is growing.
hang in there.

I am sorry and will pray for the strength for the both of you. Cry, it's ok...only time I do is when something like this happens. You will know when the moment is right, hardest part is not being selfish and do what needs to be done. Prayers.

That sucks. Went through cancer with my boxer, did the same thing. You'll know when it's time.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Our beagle sprouted a bunch of lumps not long ago, probably not long for her either.

I probably don't have to say this, but when the time comes, be with her. She will need you there.
There is time, and you must take it, to lay your hand on your dog's head as you walk past him lying on the floor or on his settle, time to talk with him, to remember with him, time to please him, time you can't buy back once he's gone" GBE

If your a dog man, It's just a fact this is going to happen. We all know it and yet we keep getting dogs.
I think it's the unconditional love we get from our dogs, the reason we make this commitment to have our hearts eventually ripped out. Jessie is my third lab and I'll cry like a baby again when she goes, He77, she may outlive me.............
I agree with SUPERDUTY, we just have a special soft spot for our dogs that is hard to explain to others who arent dog lovers, many tears have been shed by "us"
My heart goes out to you Nathan and your beautiful Lily, What a great dog !!!
