Cole update :(
Apr 24, 2020, 3:57 PM

Cole has cancer. It's causing bone deformation in the middle of his back that has compressed the spine. The cancer is attached to his spinal cord and they can't remove it all during surgery due to its location. Any surgical intervention and radiography will only extend his life slightly/unknown. Options right now are surgery and committing to radiography, just doing radiography hoping it shrinks the tumor so his spinal cord isn't compressed (he's in pain right now), or saying goodbye to my best friend. Waiting until tomorrow to hear from radiology. I’m not ready for this.

Give him lots of love and treats! I went through this with the original Ayejoe about 2 years ago and it sucks out loud.
I'm sure you have plenty of support from friends and family, but if venting to a internet stranger will help shoot me a t-male.
Really really sorry.

I figured this would be the likely case just based on anecdotal experience with every Golden and lab I've owned or known. For dogs with expected 13 year lifespans (give or take), it seems like a miracle if they make it past 11, and 9 out of 10 seem to be cancer. My dad had to put his Golden down a couple weeks ago, she was only 8. She had raw spots on her nose and her paw pads, so he suspected lupus or cancer. Tested positive for lymphoma, and the type she had attacks certain soft tissues (nose and pads, for example). It got very painful and difficult for her to even walk, and there's just nothing that could even be done. She probably had another few months in her, but it's just not fair (in his estimation, and I agreed, but others might think differently) to make her suffer from simple things like going outside to pee. Drugs made her constipated, and at that point...it was time.
I love Goldens, but I don't think I'll ever have another one because fuck cancer. I'm so sorry for you and Cole. Spoil the shit out of him, make him comfortable, and he'll let you know when it's time. Good thoughts your way, amigo.

That is so sad. I feel for you and Cole. Even makes me bummed. Our best buddies leave us too soon or we leave them one day. The timing can't be perfect. Sorry to hear. Awful.

So sorry man. Similar situation almost two years ago.
Apr 24, 2020, 7:00 PM

Brought our dog to the vet and just thought he was under the weather. A day later, we had to make the decision to put him down because he needed emergency surgery for a tumor.
Even if he survived the surgery, quality of life was not great. Very sad turn of events.
Prayers to you and Cole.

No words for this situation. I already shed a tear remembering being in similar situations too many times.
Gonna go pet my pup now and wish the best for you and Cole.
Thanks for letting Cole be part of the Lunge - him's a real good boy.

we've all had to go through this. It sucks donkey meat. I've had several boxers that were truly members of the family. But that breed has a propensity for cancer. Fairly short life spans... 10 to 12 years on avg. Cried like a baby every time I've had to put one down. And get a bit sad whenever the anniversary of their deaths roll around. I remember every date. It truly is like losing a family member. Because it is.
All you can do is make their last days as comfortable as possible. And remember the good times.
