  • I too am crying as i type this! I'm gonna have to put my Bullmastiff Brutus to sleep in a few days from cancer as well mast cell tumors. He is my everything!!! He is only 5 1/2 years old and does not deserve this. He is a once in a lifetime dog. He has a way of making everyone feel so incredibly loved and needed. I know i will never get over this! Everytime i here the song by Keith Urban "With Out You" I brake down instantly and can't stop crying. I will love you forever Brut!!!

    • I'm so sorry. But you know you are doing the best thing for him, so he doesn't have to suffer. I know it's the hardest thing to do, but I hope you can be with him when it happens. All of my animals through my life that've had to be put down for whatever reason except 1, I was with. That 1 I wasn't with is the cat that I asked this question about. She had cancer, and the tumors on her skin had burst and she was bleeding and in pain. I was dealing with a serious illness at the time and had to have my mom take her. I think that's part of the extra pain I feel, I feel guilty for not being with her.
      But I think they're more comfortable when their people are with them...It is like losing a family member. Scratch that, it is losing a family member. But don't ever let that pain keep you from loving another animal. Brutus would want you to love another dog the way you've loved him.
