I havnt been on for sometime now , you know how it is life just gets in the way.
yesterday we where given the news my mothers German Shepard has bone cancer, and he is not suitable for removal of the limb
vets have said he has possibly 2 months to live
its been a hard thing to take considering other then a limp he is bright, playful and very much himself
he is 8 years old and still very much a puppy at heart, no hip problems so when he started to limp 3 weeks ago we all though it was hips, vets gave painkillers which didn't do any thing so yesterday he had xrays which confirmed it
sadly we live on the isle of man so there isnt all the options you folks on UK mainland have
none of us are really ready to stay goodbye to a dog who other then a limp is happy to live
so hold your loved fur ones a little tighter, lets them know you love there company as they can just disappear so quickly.
my mother wants another dog (some thing smaller then a 60kg German Shepard) but there is no puppies on island , puppies in the UK are a 4 hours ferry trip away and 2 weeks isolation upon return to island, plus not to mention prices with the pandemic!
and sadly the removing centre on island only have a newfoundland which she isn't what she needs or wants now she is turning 60
