About a month ago Sophie, youngest of our 3 GP, started limping really bad and my wife took her to the vet. We figured she had pulled something as they sometimes play pretty rough. We got a huge shock, she has cancer in her shoulder. Vet said it appeared to be very aggressive and has probably already spread everywhere. We have been giving her pain meds, but the tumor on her shoulder is now about the size of a softball and she can't use her left front leg at all and she is whimpering a lot. She is only 5 years old and is still a very loving sweet dog. We have an appointment at 3:30 to help her cross the river. I know it's best, but it does not make it any easier.

RIP SOPHIE!

Prayers for strength and peace on the journey that you are about to take. Letting go is so difficult, even when it’s the best option.
 
So sorry for your pupper. I've lost one to cancer, as has my father. Losing my girl was the hardest day of my life, and I still cry about it two years later. Run free, Sophie.
 
So sorry. As many times as we go through this with our pets, it never gets any easier. RIP without pain and suffering.
 
Thanks guys. My wife just got home from work and she has gone out to play with Sophie one last time. Then we are headed to the vet, which luckily is only .5 mile away.
 
So very sadden to hear this.
But remember she will be waiting on the other side with a ball to play with.

We are home. It was quick. Vet said it was more than likely an osteosarcoma, based on how quickly it had grown. It had been less than 3 weeks from when it was first found. He said he sees it a lot when big dogs come in with a limp with one of their front legs.
 
It’s never easy, but sometimes it is the kindest thing you can do.

Sorry for your loss.

So Sorry for Your loss and May good memories eclipse the very real sense of missing her as quickly as is right for you and your family …
 
Awful. I feel terrible for you and your family. They never stay with us long enough, but five years is agonizingly brief. You did the right thing though.
 
I hate to hear this. Our time is coming. Our little girl is starting to show some problems and we'll have to make the hard decision sooner than we'll want.
