In a matter of days, our precious boy went downhill... we let him move on to a pain-free place where he can have all three legs... I am truly broken up over this....

I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.
Oh, I am so sorry, I know how hard you fought for him. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Harley is an 8 year old Golden Retriever. Amp surgery for an infiltrative lipoma canceled due to two masses in chest. A rescue, he found his forever home on 3/18/07 and left for his eternal home on 1/09/13. His story and medical history are at http://myharley.....pawds.com/
I am so very sorry to hear this. Miller was a beautiful boy and he fought so hard. I know that there are no words which will comfort you at this sad time, but please know that you are in the thoughts and hearts of this community.

Zeus was a Husky mix diagnosed with Osteosarcoma at age 11. A visible lung met and suspicious spot on his liver meant a poor prognosis-six weeks was our vet's best guess. We decided to fight for our boy and his right front leg was amputated on 12/1/11. We did six rounds of chemo, changed his diet and spoiled him completely rotten. We were blessed with 10 great months after diagnosis. Against the odds, the lung met remained a single met and grew very little over those months. A wonderful furbaby with the most gentle spirit, he fought with a strength that we never imagined he possessed. We have no regrets...

I am so very sorry for your loss. Miller was so brave and is now running free-may his spirit live on. Thinking of you during this difficult time.
Joan and Lily
Our beautiful Lily was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her front leg on 12/14/11 at age 8 and had amp on 12/16/11. She completed 5 rounds of carbo. She was so brave and kicked cancer's butt daily! She lived life fully for 4 years, 3 months, and 15 days after her amp. My angel is a warrior princess. I miss her so much.
Heather, I'm so sorry to hear of Miller's passing. He was a strong boy, and fought a brave battle. Sending healing thoughts to you.
Heather, I am so sorry things turned out like this. Miller was a beautiful boy, and they don't come any braver. Thinking of you as your grieve for Miller.
Scout: January 31, 2002 to November 7, 2011
Scout's diagnosis was "poorly differentiated sarcoma"; amputation 1/11/2011. Scout enjoyed 9 fantastic years on 4 legs and 9 glorious months on 3 legs. If love alone could have saved you…
So sad to hear of Miller's trip to the Rainbow Bridge. In your hearts, he will live forever.
I am so sorry, Heather. I know how it feels to have it all spin out of control so quickly. It just happens in a blur.
I so hope your healing is quick, and the memories soon bring you smiles.
RIP sweet Miller. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.
Shanna & Spirit Trouble ~ Trouble gained her wings 3/16/2011, a 27 1/2 month cancer survivor, tail wagging. RIP sweetheart, you are my heart and soul. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.
The November Five - Spirits Max, Cherry, Tika, Trouble & Nova. 11/2008 - 3/2013 An era ends as Queen Nova crossed the Bridge.
I'm so sorry to read this. There is no amount of time with our precious pups that could ever be "enough." He will always be with you in your heart.
The other warriors that went before him will show him all the best places to run and play. My girl will flirt shamelessly with him.
Thinking of you at this hard time,
Jackie, angel Abby's mom
Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!
Run free Miller, you truly are an inspiration, your story will encourage other people whose beloved dogs are fighting this awful disease. You are brave, beautiful and obviously so loved by your human Heather.
Heather, im thinking of you at this time, Millers spirit will be walking with you now.
Amanda & Porthos x

I am so sorry that it was Miller's time. It is frightening how quickly things can turn. I know nothing can ease the terrible pain in your heart but please know that we are thinking of you and sending you healing hugs.
Karen and Spirit Magnum
Magnum: 30th May 2002 to 5th May 2012. Lost her back left leg to osteosarcoma on 5th Sep 2011. Lung mets found on 20th Mar 2012 but it was bone mets in the hip that ended her brave battle. Magnum's motto - "Dream as if you'll live for ever, live as if you'll die today" (James Dean). Loyal, loving, courageous and spirited to the end.
