| Lex was with me when we found out so we talked and cried all the way home trying to process the information we had just been given. |
 |
| I waited until late evening to tell Nojah and the tears flowed some more. I would say he is having the most difficult time with it between the 2 kids or I should say he's showing it the most. The past 2 nights he's cried himself to sleep with me at his side. It just doesn't make sense to him why both of his dogs have to go so early for the same reason. It breaks my heart to see the kids continue to look for her around the house and just watch her with tears welling up in their sweet little eyes. |

| What makes this harder is dad's gone. He's in Southern UT fighting fire and hasn't had cell coverage the past 2 days, so he doesn't know yet and he just as much in love with her as the rest of us so telling him will be hard. |
 |
| Even though she'll probably be with us a couple more months I feel like I have already lost a hiking partner and friend. As big of a stinker as she's been and the grief she has caused us at times only made us love her more and makes this more difficult. |
 |
| She was the one that distracted our minds from the last dog we lost to this awful disease. |
 |
| She's smart and has a LOT of personality. She loves people she knows and dogs she knows as well. Loves her kitty Gilbert....... |
 |
| and the snow. For now we will keep her comfortable and spoil her rotten. It's an aggressive cancer so amputation and chemotherapy rarely buys them much more time if any. It's also a really painful cancer so I just don't want her to hurt. I wish I had my husband to talk to, to help me make these decisions but I know he will support me with whatever I choose to do. |

Awwww Dawn, I'm so sorry. (I'm crying too.) You're right. It doesn't seem fair and it's so hard to watch them suffer. I don't know if that's what Dexter had but he, too had a growth on his leg and it advanced quickly. I remember the pain he was in and it was heart-wrenching. I wish I could do something to ease your pain and make things easier but I know I can't. Give the kids big hugs from us and tell 'em it's okay to cry cuz it is! I remember it helped me a lot to write down everything I remembered and everything I loved (and didn't love) about Dexter. It gets easier as the days go by but it's nice to go back and read those memories of things I'd probably have forgotten if I hadn't written them down.
I love you!
I'm sorry Dawn. That's a really weird coincidence. I don't know what else to say...play with her tons. Both of your dogs have been awesome, not that I spent much time with either of them, just the little bit of mountain biking we did. I'll be thinking about you guys and Myah.
I love Myah and her kisses. I cried as I read your blog and know that it never gets easier. New dogs ease the pain, but we always remember each one differently. You are so good to your pets, they are lucky to have your family, even if itis a short while. Don't let this keep you from your next adventure. There is another pooch out there who needs your loving family. Remember the joy and frustration that Myah brought to Kota in his last days. It made it easier on the kids, too. I love you all lots!
I am so sorry! That is so sad. I cried a little too and I've never even met Myah. I know she is a great friend and member of your family though and it will be sad to see her go.
