We had to say goodbye to our beloved Missy yesterday. Her health was up and down all this year but each time previously, a new prescription or a new dosage or a diet change had seemingly done its work and she would be perky again. So we weren't very worried when she seemed not quite right a couple of days ago and took her to the vet on Wednesday. How quickly our world turned upside down. Less than 24 hours later, we heard the words "cancerous cyst on her adrenal gland", "spread to her kidney and spleen and her body wall", "no hopeful outcome".
She was the gentlest sweetest quietest dog I've ever had. She never made a sound, she only barked two times in the nearly four years since we adopted her and her companion, Shadow.
She brought us so much joy.

I hope you will consider adopting senior dogs, possibly the best choice I ever made.
