It is with heavy heavy heart that I must now say that our most sweetest baby, Bingo, 9 weeks post ampuversary had UGLY CANCER show its UGLY head in his remaining leg and hip with an awful pathological fracture!!!!! Taking him out to do his thing this morning and he slid to the ground and let out a terrible yelp. Rushed to his vet and XRAY confirmed osteo did not want to go away!!!!! We could do 2 days at home drugged up or let him go in peace with no more pain. Not what I was expecting on our way to the vet. I miss him so much. I feel so numb right now. WHY WHY WHY!!!!! He was a fighter! Senior dog who kept smiling all the time. Vet said "he is great from his head to his hip". No one believed he was 15! my baby! I miss you! [Image Can Not Be Found]

So very, very sorry. So sorry. I know your heart is broken. We all understand like no other group can.
I also know you made a selfless courageous decision. for your Bingo....you did when you decided to amputate and you did now. He deserved to be free from pain, he deserved to move on without any ore challenges.
Bingo lived large and I know WS spoiled and loved more than most dogs ever get experience! You got some wonderful quality to e these last no the.....time that many more wonderful memories were made.
When you can, not now, but maybe before you go to bed tonight, think of so etching Bingo did that made you smile. He would really like to see you smile! I know a dog with the name of Abingo left you with plenty of funny things to remember----plenty of funny little antics.
We are here for you. We are your extended family and we care deeply.

Oh, I am so, so sorry. We followed bingo's story from your first day here, as you arrived not long after we did, and I also have a senior pup.
Hugs to you, and safe travels across the bridge for Bingo. <3

I am so very sorry. My heart aches for you. Cancer just doesn't play fair and sometimes it is just too aggressive.
Many hugs

Didn't see the picture of Bingo earlier. What great, great, great looking boy! He has "one of a kind" written all over him. A solid, handsome no with a whole lot of mischief in those happy eyes.
Thank you for coming back and sharing such a delightful photo of a delightful soul.
