Last night I made the most horrible decision I've ever made, and I let Eva go. She got eat everything she ever wanted all day long, and I spent the entire day cuddling her. Our vet came over to the house at 7 PM, and she left this world lying in arms, with her head in my lap.
I am so broken-hearted. She was my baby, my angel muffin. Already I can hardly stand that I will never keep to see her again, and more importantly I will never get to put my arms around her and cuddle, or play with her big, soft silky ears.
I don't regret fighting her cancer with every weapon I could use – amputation, IV chemo, oral chemo although I had to stop that, pills and supplements, massage, "happy therapy" when I'd try my best to make everything as normal and fun for her as possible. Cancer couldn't take me, and it couldn't take stinky sandwich meat (her favourite treat these days) but it gradually took everything else that first made life fun, then at least bearable, until it was unbearable. And then I let her go.
Eva – you are my baby, my 10 year old puppy dog, my angel, my sweetest girl. I will miss you so much. I already miss you so much. I love you.
I'm glad that Eva participated in an OVC study examining osteosarcoma in canines. Her results and those of others will help veterinary scientists to devise treatments and scans that will gradually work to stop other dog lovers from having to go through the pain of losing what Eva was to me.
She was a hero, and I loved her.

It is with great sadness that I read you posting and hope that you will accept our deepest sympathy at this time. Your posting tells a wonderful story of a very special love that you shared with your Eva. I know of the feelins you expressed so elequently having been in this exact position just 46 days ago. Ten years is clearly not enough time – especially when you two shared such an obviously great relationship. You fight was brave. You can look back and clearly say that you did everything that could be done. However, I know how empty those words sound just now but in time they will be a comfort.
My Cherry also left her battle in my arms with her head. Like you it was one of the most horrible decision we ever could have made. However, you were strong and did not make Eva suffer more pain. I could see in Cherry's eyes that this cancer was saping all her energy. While you may not be able to stoke Eva just now, you will not be without ever for the gifts that she has given you will live with you forever.
Praying for the time when you will find peace and can remember Eva with a smile reflecting the wonderful moments you two shared.

I am so, so sorry about you losing your angel, Eva. You know you did the right thing by letting her go. She made the decision for you. It's never easy but you guys fought hard. My heart goes out to you.
I know we can't say anything to ease your pain but know that we feel it with you. I hope that can bring a little comfort during difficult time.

She departed us unexpectedly from bleeding internally on January 23, 2011
Comet came from a dog hoarder and was born with a deformed front leg. She was sassy and bossy but oh so much fun! She lost her brother, Rugby in 2009 and got Monkeybutt, the king of Monkeydogs! He was the most annoying dog ever to a tripawd!

Jess, I'm so sorry to hear about your Eva. As with many other people here on these forums, I know the pain you're feeling right now. And Tazzie is right, it is hard. All I can say that helped us a lot, is to remember all the great, happy times you had with her. They'll bring many tears to your eyes, but someday, instead of tears, you'll have a big smile. Our thoughts are with you.

I am so sorry to read that you have lost your precious Eva. Please take some comfort in knowing that she is now running free with a lot of other tripawd angels free of pain and in some cases from the discomfort of the chemo side effects.
Sending you a huge hug,

I'm so sorry to hear about your sweet Eva… I know how difficult your decision was, and how sad you are feeling right now. It's been a little over 3 months since I had to say good-bye to my angel Jake… and my heart is still so broken and I miss him so much.
You did everything you could to make Eva's life happy for as long as she had. She is now at peace and running free at the Rainbow Bridge… I hope that she meets up with my Jake up there…
You are in my thoughts and prayers during this very sad time…
