A couple of weeks ago, I noticed a sore on the top of the mouth of my dog. It was about the size of a nickel. Since then, it has expanded to the entire hard palate. Tonight, we had him put to sleep.
The only thing that might help would have been radiation treatment. He would have hated the trips out there and back, as well as the treatment itself. Hell, the treatment probably wouldn't have helped. It would have only made him uncomfortable and us feel like we were doing something.
It made me cry to see him die when he was still healthy otherwise. But I cried when he was still with us. He helped me get through his passing.
Goodbye, Buster. You were among my best friends and I will mourn you accordingly.
