Fast-moving cancer
The cancer is in her lymph nodes and there isn't anything that can be done to remove it, even chemo. She has been given 2 weeks to 2 months left, and I'm heartbroken. I was in 5th grade when we got her, and I was her "mommy", teaching her all of her training and spending long hours horse-back riding with her throughout grade school and into High School. She will be twelve on Friday, and has had a great life, but I just wish I could be with her now. I just wanted to share, and thanks so much for listening. |

On Emily, My heart goes out to you. I read this post and got tears in my eyes. Love to you, hope you get to deal with this in someway.  |
| That's so sad, sending a cyber hug, so sorry you can't be there, but at least she is with someone who loves her. |
Emily, I am so sorry  Just having lost Beau to cancer I understand how devestated you are. We are always here for you, whenever you need us.

| I am so sorry about Cassie.
We just lost our 5 yr old German Shepherd in February from Cancer. He was diagnosed in January with end stage Cancer. I am sorry you can't be with her. She has lived a wonderfully long life and she knows she's loved. Hugs, |
| I am so sorry. I wish you could be there too. This is really tragic. My thoughts are with you. |
Ask your parents to give Cassie tht special rub for you, just the way you'd do it if you were there.  |
| Oh Emily! I'm so sorry to hear Cassie is sick. I wish you could go home for a weekend to see her. |
| Hi,
What sad news. I'm really sorry to hear this has happened to Cassie. You'll be in my thoughts, as will Cassie.

| Emily,
I am so sorry for you and your Cassie. We lost our Mopsy just 8 weeks ago today and her oldest brother Brian was away at college. I know that was hard for him since he had grown up with her just like you and Cassie. I told Brian we would wait to lay her to rest until he came home, which will be this week since it is spring break. He came up with the idea of using a stone with her paw print that we made a few years ago as her marker. I kept the tin with her ashes in the living room, where she liked to lay, until we could find a nice day with all of us to give her a final tribute. We let Brian talk to her on the phone that morning so he could say goodbye. Cassie knows that you love her and she knows your thoughts are with her. Your parents will tell her too. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Take care. Judi |
| Hugs emily feel very sorry for you and cassie, you are in my thoughts and prayers, cassie will still feel your love even though you can not be there to say goodbye. |
| I'm so sorry to hear this. Cassie is a great friend and you will miss her. If her cancer is like what Olivia had, they just slow down to where they don't even want to get up anymore. That's the sign the end has come. I think of Olivia's passing as a fading out. A gentle end. My thoughts are with you. |
| Emily, I'm so sorry

| I know how hard it is to lose your baby to cancer. I lost mine about 4 weeks ago (8 days after giving birth to our first child). It was the worst and best time...
She was only BARELY 5 years old when she was diagnosed with lymphoma and after about 6 months of intense chemo I thought I would be stronger and better at handling having to put her down but I still cry everyday, I really miss her.... maybe there is something wrong with me. I know we did everything possible for her, the oncologists were wonderful. But, it's still hard. I miss her desperately. We are getting a puppy April 8th that I hope to take up the spirit that she left, she was always full of energy right up until the end. I am really excited for our new baby and I know that somehow through her Abby will continue. Cancer is a hard thing in dogs, it comes on so quickly and so rabidly. I wish you well in dealing with this, as I know how hard it is to come to terms with! |
I'm so sorry. Maybe you can talk to her over the phone?  |
| Well, it is just over a week later and the cancer has progressed rapidly. Cass can no longer eat, she is having trouble breathing, and my mom says she just lost her spark. So I spent a few minutes on the phone with her tonight letting her know how much I love her and miss her. The vet is making the 40 minute drive out to my parent's house to put her to sleep tomorrow. I am absolutely heartbroken. It is so overwhelming to be so many thousands of miles away from her. I am so sad. I haven't been able to dry the tears. |
| emily im so sorry to hear about cass. it may not seem like much but im sure cass was very happy to hear your voice, these dogs are smart... they know when theyre loved and it sounds like she was very loved.
walter and i send our love, well be thinking of you and cass tomorrow. |
| Oh Emily, such a sad time - I am thinking of you. At least there will be no more pain for Cass and she can go play with my lovely Border Bonnie.
Keep her name tag on your keyring - i still have Bonnies on mine and she died 7 years ago. Hope you get through this difficult time - cuddles and best wishes Kayla and Ollie |
| Joan and I will be thinking of you all day today. |
| Thinking of you emily at this sad time. Sending blessings for cassie. |
| I'm so sorry. I know how hard this must be. |
| I'm so sorry. You were lucky to have had her for so long. We'll be thinking of you... |
| Oh Emily....I'm so very sorry!! Bless your heart - she knows how much you love her. |
| Emily, I'm so sorry for your loss. It is never easy when we lose our dogs and I understand how being so far away from her can make the loss feel 100 times worse. Just know how much she loved you, and take comfort in her knowing how much you loved her. You will see her again someday. My thoughts and prayers are with you today.

| I'm so sorry That breaks my heart to read. |
| I'm so sorry Emily Sadly, the right thing to do is also the hardest. She'll be with you always, in your heart, and in all the wonderful memories you have of her. |
| Let me add my support to all that's already been said. I'm so sorry for your loss and for the frustration of being away from your loved one at such a difficult time. I'm very sympathetic. Your dear Cassie was lucky to be so loved. . . |
| Thank you all for your support - your messages are so comforting. I talked to my dad tonight and Cassie went very peacefully. He made her a grave right next to her predecessor (a border collie named Nature). It has been a really sad day and I know it will be hard for a while but she had a wonderful life. My husband has been a sweety all day telling me his favorite memories of her! The hardest part has been (and I'm sure will be for a while) finding closure from so far away - I can't imagine she won't be there to greet me when I visit home. Thanks again for all the support. |
| I'm so very sorry for your loss! |
| I'm so sorry Emily |
| Im sorry too Emily! My thoughts are with you. |
| I'm very sorry
She's free of pain now...hopefully that will comfort you a bit. |
| I'm sorry Emily. I am glad you got to talk to her. Take care. You are in our thoughts. |
| Hi,
I'm so sorry about the loss of Cassie. Just yesterday I was reading a book regarding when animals pass. It said they are not afraid of death but of pain. Still, it's so difficult to make that final decision but Cassie is now in a better place, free from pain, and at the Rainbow Bridge. Losing a life long friend is so painful for those of us left behind. You are grieving for her but in time will be able to replace those sad thoughts will happier memories of the times shared with her. In time, you'll be able to write about her goofy antics and personality that made you smile. She was a much loved girl, that is so apparent and led a wonderful life with you and your parents. Hugs to you Marianne and the boys |
| Sorry to hear about the loss of Cassie. |
| I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, Cassie. She is happy playing with the other pups now. |
