I just wanted to post up some pictures of my dog, Okuma. We found out on Saturday that she had cancer and had to have her put to sleep yesterday. I was incredibly close with her, so have had a rough last couple of days dealing with the shock. She was my field companion and an obsessive tennis ball chaser. She was also the smartest dog I have known.
She had a tumor in her pelvis that was blocking off her colon, so despite being very active was unable to go to the bathroom. She was still active and chasing her ball until the end, but would have gone downhill very fast so we made the tough decision to put her down before that happened. She passed away in my arms, which was the hardest thing I have been through to date, but I needed to be with her through the process. I am not ashamed to say that I have cried more in the last three days than I have in my whole life.
