[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm crying reading this thread.  We just found out our dog has a cancerous tumor in her nose.  She's 11 years old (maybe 12-13, we adopted her as an adult), so I don't think we are going to do any radiation or surgery.  My DH and I are devastated.  The dog is still acting normally, so it's so hard for me to realize that she might not have much longer to live.

Sending lots of love to your family. [/quote]

Advice for you (and anybody else, actually) that I am really glad I did, and wish I did.  This may not be for everyone.  This is stuff you can/should do now (if you want!).

I am not a hoarder, but I like having a "piece" of my dog with me always.  Of course, when the time comes, I saved my dog's collar and sweater.  But I really treasure the little ziplock with her a fur clipping.  I keep it in my jewelry box.  I wish I had made her paw print, either with an ink pad, or in plaster (they sell little kits, like they do for children).

Just something that helps me feel close to my dogs forever (I have had to go through this 4 times as an adult).  And of course lots of pictures and memories of times together.[/quote]
