This is an appreciation post for the time we have left together.
Caught a limp when she was struggling to stand up from sitting. First time she’s made any sort of indication she was in pain, only 8 days ago. X-rays, ultrasound, then a CT to confirm. Osteosarcoma starting in her spine, already in her lungs, with mineral deposits in her heart.
Six days out from diagnosis and her stamina is dropping fast. She needs support to stand now. The past few days she’s had me rolling her around in a wagon for hours at a time, because she still wants to be out in the world, she just can’t do it on her own anymore.
Even now she’s stubborn as hell. If she doesn’t want to do something, she’s not doing it. Same husky she’s always been. And still the most affectionate dog I’ve ever known. She’ll find a way to lean into me even when getting up is the last thing her body wants.
Not really sure why I’m posting this. Just wanted somewhere that gets it.
