Thank you all I am leaning toward not getting him treated. I took him yesterday to an oncologist just for a consultation and e was all tired and stressed out the rest of the day. I dont think I could put him through this.

I discussed it with my t and he said : that a dog isnt self-aware and istnt afraid of dying...but would be afraid of all the treatments. So I guess I just have to keep him out of pain...I wonder if when its time I could have the vet come to the house.

I just want to be sure Im doing the right thing. Its so hard because my husband's only been dead a little over a year... of cancer and even if the dog could take the treatments I dont know if I could. I wanted to be sure I wasnt being selfish.. It was eight months of hell watching my husband go through chemo and everything. I dont know how I'm going to be watching my dog die so soon and so young.

I havent told my daughter yet. She's 13. I should put it off telling her right? Imean she just lost her father. Shes not going to take it well. But then she may be mad I didnt tell her...

Thanks Wants, Sky, Bebop, Gardnergirl,Pat,Sabau...I hope I dint miss anyone..Im kind of upset...all of your replies meant a lot...
