So very sorry to be reading this news. My heart goes out to you and your pack.

Barb,
I am so very sorry to hear about Tungsten Blue. He was a beautiful boy and obviously touched your heart - which is why you began this journey. There have been so many sweet souls that have walked over the bridge lately...including my Sweet Ted. I'm hoping he and the others were waiting there for your sweet Tungsten Blue. With my most sincere condolences.

I am so sorry to hear this news. Please know that we are all grieving your loss of Tungsten Blue.
Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016. Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016. Lung mets August 25, 2016. Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016. Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.
Wherever they are, they are together.
Oh noooooo .....
Tungsten Blue had to leave you .... another angel has crossed the bridge .... life is definitely not fair ...
He was such a beautiful boy and loved you to bits just like you did
Ultimately we all loose the battle, cancer will take our babies bodies away but not their soul.
Their soul stays with us forever until the day we reunite.
And so does the love we shared in this earth.
Love never dies, Barb, love never dies
Eurydice 77kg/170lb Great Dane limping end of April 2016, amputation (right front leg/osteosarcoma) 4 May 2016 6 courses of carboplatin followed by metronomic therapy, lung mets found 30 Nov 2016. 3 courses of doxorubicin, PET scan 26 Jan 2017 showed more mets so stopped chemo. Holistic route April 2017. Lung X-ray 5 May 2017 showed several tennis ball size mets, started cortisone and diuretics. Miss Cow earned her XXL silver wings 12 June 2017, 13 months and 1 week after amputation and 6 1/2 months after lung mets, she was the goofiest dawg ever and is now happily flying from cloud to cloud woof woofing away :-)
Is m so very sorry to hear that you have lost Tungsten Blue. I am sitting here thinking of you and your best friend. I can not help but cry for you. I wish all the stories would have a happy ending but know that can not always happen. You have done all you can do and I am sure he values the extra time you had. Please understand how bad I and my wife feel for you. He has crossed the rainbow bridge and will be there for you.
