RIP Rosie
Geezer here - but without Rosie my English Golden Retriever who passed away today. Some here may remember when I took Rosie in as a battered and abused breeder dog with a missing left ear and various scars around her head and face. She looked like she had been in a brawl but she had the most gentle loving nature and would never want to have anything to do with fighting so it will remain a mystery how she obtained all the scars.
She was diagnosed with mammary cancer about 5 years ago and was given 10 months to live by the Vet who removed the first cancer. Poor Rosie had a return of the cancer (5 years later) that invaded her entire abdominal cavity and was pressing on some vital organs. She was obviously in a great deal of pain and there was no hesitation on my part to end her short and rather sad life.
I hope wherever she is that she does not experience any more pain or abuse and finds happiness and peace at last!
