Robert Kugler found out last year that his dog, a chocolate Labrador called Bella, was dying of cancer.

He had adopted Bella nine years ago, when she still was a puppy.

Her leg was amputated due to bone cancer, and vets informed him last year that sadly, despite this action, the cancer had spread to her lungs, and was now terminal.

She had been given just three to six months to live.

such a sweet, spirit-lifting experience
and caring so much for one as their time grows short

2. I wish I could do this with my Riley, a diabetic 12yo Siberian Husky, but I am doing as many

'fun things' he likes as I know his day is drawing near. Fucking sucks cuz I love that dog so and he so 'gets me' that it is almost uncanny...

3. I'm so sorry...

It's so hard. Been there. Done that - many times, and it never gets any easier.

I wish you and Riley peace and comfort.

4. This thread is kicking my ass. I'm sitting here balling...

good on you for recognizing and making the effort... cherish the time... if Riley 'gets you', that's a special communication and knowledge between you two. Memorize everything that you can (of these final days)

I'm sorry you're going to lose your best friend.

6. Bless both your hearts...

..damnit, someone is cutting onions right next to my cubicle.
