hey all-- i am shamelessly reaching out to you all to beg for any positive energy and good vibes you can send my way. my angel, my baby, my doggy, mayer is very sick. and there is a good chance he will not make it through the weekend. i may have to put him to sleep.

he was sick yesterday and today so tonight i took him to the animal hospital. the insipid, rude, useless vet said that i could pretty much count on him not coming home with me because he surely had pancreatic cancer or an untreatable obstruction. and they wouldnt be able to tell me anything- or let him leave there- until tuesday. um no. so i called the other clinic- they have a much better reputtion and ultrasound techs on call. so i said i would take him there for treatment and a second opinion. they cathed him and i transported him to the other emergency hospital in the area. they gave me a little bit of hope that it could just be really bad prostritis or a bad UTI. the ultrasound is in about 6hrs and then i will know what exactly i am dealing with. i am devastated. i don't know if i will be ok if i lose him now. i came so far in the past few months- but this is the event that could send me back to the depths of major depression. i know he won't live forever or anything, but i just can't live without him now.

so i beg you-if you can keep me and my angel in your thoughts, prayers, wishes, etc it would mean everything. he is an amazing animal and he saved me in so many ways. he doesn't deserve to be in pain or sad. but i can't cope without him. i just came to the boards bc i just got home to my empty apt. its 430am and i am a mess. i am driving back out there in about 4hrs. i wanted to try for a couple of hrs of sleep, but that is just not going to happen.

thanks for listening. i need all support i can get.

    Tiff - no matter what, you will do what is right. I hope for you that you both are fine and that he recovers beautifully. Love for and from a dog is such a strong bond. I lost my Marshall 3-1/2 years ago to diabetes and I thought that I would never have another because he was just such a special baby.

    My thoughts and good positive energy are with you.

    Hold on - and no matter what happens, you can stand strong. Cry, yes. Give up, never.

    Just wanted to update everyone. Mayer had an ultrasound and had very aggressive cancer throughout his body. He couldn't pass urine and he was quite uncomfortable. It was best for him that I let him go. I held him in my arms while he went away. My world is shattered. He was the best dog. I will never ever be able to fill the void in my heart.

    I am SOOOO SORRY for your loss!! Just know that we're all here for you in your time of need. You did what was right, even though it totally sucked. Just remember the happy times which i am sure were many.

    I am so sorry, that is such a horrible thing to have to go through. Because I am a pet person and never feel complete without one, I have had to do that a few times and it never gets easier. On the other hand I am really proud of you (strange sounding when I dont' know you) for doing the right thing. I have seen way too many people hold on long past when it becomes mean to the animal. You are a good person, and a kind pet owner to have done the right thing.

    I'm sorry to hear your news....You were a great mom to your pup, you gave him a great home and peace and comfort when he needed it the most. I feel your pain and know that you are hurting but all your memories with him will give you the strength to keep going. If you need a friend send a message.

    I'm so sorry to hear about Mayer. :( Just know that as hard as it is, you thought of him and his needs and did the right thing. He is at peace now. We also had to put our dog who had cancer to sleep. Very, very hard. They are truly part of the family and it feels like your saddness will never go away. They sure are our babies! :) In time though, the pain does get better. I don't know how but it does. We adopted another dog a week later. He didn't replace her, but he sure made things a bit easier to deal with.
    Take care and know it will get better. It just takes time. I didn't think I would ever get to the point where I didn't cry when talking about her. Now when we think of her it's fun happy memories that make us smile.
    I hope the time goes quickly until you can think of him and smile.
    Hugs to you!

    I'm so very very sorry to hear about Mayer - only yesterday I was looking at him in your ticker on another thread thinking what a cute dog. You had no option, he has obviously been a brave dog and you have been a kind and caring owner. Please don't despair, I think the last thing you can do FOR Mayer is, in his memory, continue on your weight loss journey which he has no doubt been a big part of thus far. Hope you are able to remember happier times very soon, Best Wishes :)

    I know a lot of people on here probably think it is weird to get upset over a dog, I am not one of them. Our furry friends are here for such a short time but they make up for it with all the love and excitement that they give us every time they see us. I am afraid that nothing anybody tells you will help that much right now, just know that a lot of us on here feel your pain and have you and your puppy in our thoughts.

    I don't know you but you are in my thoughts and prayers.
    Your story brought tears to my eyes and I feel your pain.
    I have 3 wonderful dogs but 1 special lady who has defied all odds to be with me.
    Hang on in there.
