Unfortunately I think the time is coming faster than anticipated. It finally kinda hit me last night, and I am really starting to dread this.

I have been through this scenario a number of times over the years.  Sadly enough, it does not get easier with practice.
While it hurts bad to lose one, the thought of living without a dog would be equal misery.

May your hurt become bearable quickly.

Thank you to all who have offered help and advice either on the thread or thru PM's. An update on Morgan is he still seems to be enjoying playing with the boys and going for walks. Although he does spend alot of time laying by the back door. He is till eating pretty well but we have to entice him with some canned wet food mixed in with the dry(which we have never had to do). His breathing is starting to seem a little more labored. We wake up everyday waiting for that sign that so many of you have said we will see. Mrs. Turkeyfeather and I both agree we don't believe we have seen it yet. So for now we just keep trying to show him how much we love and care for him. Thanks again to you all.

It is with great sadness that I make a final report on this thread. Unfortunately last night it became clear to us that he was no longer living what could be cosidered a quality life. Just a little while ago we went to the vet and he is now cancer free. Has to be the toughest thing I have dealt with. The vet said he was amazed he had the spirit in him that he still had cause the cancer had spread all over and was one of the most advanced stages he'd seen. According to him most dogs don't hang on that long. Doesn't surprise me one bit that he did. What a trooper. Again thanks to you all.
