Sorry for the late reply Colin, I'm not on the board as much these days, but wow I'm so sorry to hear the bad news. We had to put down our 10 year old Golden "Kilti" last fall and it was really, really hard for me. So I definetly feel for you. She grew up with our kids and it was hard on them as well. She also, developed cancer in her stomach area. They couldn't tell from xrays which organ(s) it was attached to but the damage was too severe to even try and remove it, unfortunately.
We have since got two more retriever pups and are enjoying them so much, but I will always have a special place for Kilti and all of her fond memories.
Take care buddy!

Deepest Sympathies, our vet sent this to us when our collie died several years ago - how true.
We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan.

Sorry to hear! .... this is one of the main reasons why I don't have any pets. My wife has 2 parrots and I get scared everyday.. its sad cuz they don't live up to our lifespan but they also live long enough for you to get very attached.... I don't think i can handle it..
May ur pooch RIP.
