Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. I really did feel everyone's strength today.  This morning, Sadie was unable to stand on her own long even long enough to urinate (she just relieved herself while laying on the floor) I moved up her vet appointment and took her in about noon.  Unfortunately, it was what we feared the most.  Dr. Yach examined Sadie's right hip and knee and took x-rays.  Her hip showed a lot of arthritis, and was tender to the touch.  Then he showed me the x-ray of her knee and there was a very visible tumor, probably osteosarcoma.  Although this area wasn't as painful to her as her hip, it was obvious that no matter how we would treat her she was never going to be able to get up, walk, or even stand on her own.  So, at about 3:45 this afternoon my Sadie Bear joined all the other brave and beautiful tripawds at the rainbow bridge.  I honestly couldn't have asked for a more peacful journey for her.  She had a hamburger last night, and another one this morning. She enjoyed a peaceful car ride into Vegas (I stopped along the way to take our picture).  Then after her x-rays, she spent a couple hours visiting everyone at West Flamingo Animal Hospital (she LOVES to visit people).  Once we decided it was time, I lay down next to her and got the privledge of telling my beautiful girl just how much I love her and how much she means to me.  She passed peacefully and was 100% Sadie right until the end. 

Rest peacfully sweet pea.
