Martie,

I am so so sorry to hear about Killer. It was my hope that the acupuncture would do the trick.  It is so unfair for her to have to fight cancer and then to turn around and fight such bad hip dysplasia.  For such an independent, beautiful dog to have to be so unable to enjoy life is heart breaking.  You did the right thing by her.  It was the last thing you could do to show her how much you love her and I know it broke your heart but you put her first.  My prayers and with you.

I'm so very sorry to hear about your lovely "Killer".  It's heartbreaking when you are helpless.   You did try everything to make her mobile and comfortable.  And you know in your heart you did what was best for her.  Be at peace and don't question yourself.

Just know that we are here and can hopefully help you get through this painful time.  Feel free to turn here for support.

Sending you peaceful thoughts….

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!
