Got a call from the vet mid-surgery. The tumor was so malignant that it had attached itself to his shoulder-blade, and into the shoulder muscles, and had taken up so much blood flow that all the tissue around it was necrotic. Poor guy must have been in more pain than I ever thought over the last month. There would have been no way to remove it all, and if they'd tried, it would have damaged the nerves and muscle so much that his leg would have likely been useless anyway.
So we made the call to have him put to sleep while he was still unconscious from anesthesia. The vet was kind enough to wait for my wife, daughter, and I to come by and say goodbye, and then I stayed for the final shots. Not how I planned for today to go, and I'm going to miss him like crazy, but I'm grateful for the 10+ years we had with such an amazing dog and glad his pain is over. Thanks again guys, and RIP Mookie, you were such a good boy.

Dude, I'm so sorry. Few things in life suck more than this, IMO. I've been through it too many times, and I have another one coming up in the near future, I'm afraid. We realize just how special they are in moments like this, and how their lives are cruelly way too short. I'm sorry for you and your family's loss.
I leave you with this quote, which I think is the best I've ever seen to describe the relationship between a person and his dog:
"I wonder at the fate that, out of the incalculable void, brought the two of us together for our mortal moment on this planet." - Willie Morris

I am very sorry to see this. Makes me think of my two that I might one day have to say goodbye to. It hurts to think it, but how much more it must hurt to live it.

I'll send a message to Ayejoe to find Mookie and show him the ropes. It's all green fields and bottomless treat jars up there where dogs go.

There’s very little in this world that stacks up to the unconditional love and total acceptance that a dog gives to us.
So sorry for you and your family.

Always heartbreaking to lose a pet/family member. At least Mookie was spared any more suffering.
Had to bury one of my pastured equines last week. For nearly 20 years I had hugged his big ol' neck almost every day. He was like one of my children. Hurts. Gonna take me a long time to get over it.
