Related: About this forumwe said goodbye to Peanut on Friday (9/19)
He stopped everything (eating, drinking, even standing on his own or walking) early last week.
On Friday we decided he was suffering too much and called the vet.
His "quality of life" evaluation included an ultrasound which revealed cancer that had invaded his liver.
His nearly 16-year life brought us joy.

(39,700 posts)There were 4 dogs here.
Of the 4, Peanut was the last to truly accept me.
When he finally did, he showed more love and loyalty than all the others combined.
