My beloved Aussie has been diagnosed with osteosarcoma late stage. Amputation nor chemo will help; thus, I'm trying to keep him as comfortable as possible with pain medications. He is 13 and I adopted him 9.5 years ago. I love him so very much and find myself crying uncontrollably and periods of numbness. It becomes more difficult each day for him to walk. Yet, his eyes are bright and ears alert, especially for meals, beginning of a walk, and for treats. I love him so very much, as if he were my very own child, and he is my child. My precious beautiful baby.
