I am just realizing that it has been so long since I last posted that I haven't posted about Bosco yet. Most of you know our dog Bosco. We adopted him from Best Friends Animal Sanctuary almost 5 years ago. He has been the best dog anyone could ask for. Unless you are a cat person and then you really would not have been a fan. Anyway, in October of last year, he developed a tumor on one of his back legs. After a failed attempt to remove the tumor, we had to amputate the leg to keep the cancer from spreading further. We had wonderful doctors (Thanks Dr. Bagley!) who did everything possible but a month ago he developed another tumor on his remaining back leg. We took x-rays to see what was going on and the cancer was back and had spread to his lungs. I don't know how he made it as long as he did. We took him home that day and spent that last night together and then we had him put to sleep the next morning. I have had many dogs in my life but I have never had to put one down before. I was really hard. I am crying now remembering him taking his last breath in my arms. We all loved our Bosco and we miss him everyday. I know that eventually we will get another dog but for now we are taking a break. Thanks to everyone who has been supportive thru that ordeal. Emily still reads Dog Heaven almost every night and they sleep with their Bosco Webkins (complete with amputated back leg). Thanks to the Landers, Joostens and Dastrups! We love you all!
