That's a ripe old age for a dog, but she was really sick at the end and I think we put her through some misery just so we could be with her. My experience with Pupi taught me that hanging on is sometimes not the loving thing to do. When Molly got sick this time, I kept that in mind and knew that I would take the hard road for me if I had to for her. I feel for you and Meesha... Jane @Brenda,

Good luck with Molly and thank goodness you had pet insurance. Which is a good reminder to me since I adopted a new dog recently to keep my old dog company (who has cancer and on medications to prolong his life). My best friend, Meesha, was diagnosed with prostrate cancer over about 16 months ago (and we don't know how long he had it before). Luckily I have an holistic vet and we started him on herbs and western meds which has given him more energy, has helped his arthritis and he seems to not be in pain. I am grateful for every I continue to have him in my life because he has been a gift from the Universe and helped me get through some really tough times in my life. He is now 15 years old and has perked up a lot since I have brought home a rescue dog (that I was fostering). It is so hard to let go and I pray that he doesn't suffer....this little creatures are truly gifts from the Gods and deserve all the love, nurturing and care we can give them.
