My beautiful Aussie (Aussie Dundee) died of cancer nine months ago. The pain is just as fierce today as it was then. I noticed him sleeping more and more the last few months of his life. He never seemed to be in pain, But I could tell he was hurting. We took him to the vet and he spent the night there. We were down at the vet,s at 8 in the morning. We got to spend the last hour and a half with him before surgery. I lifted all 80 lbs up on the table for surgery and hugged him and told him I Loved him. The vet made me leave. As I left his beautiful eyes just bored into mine. Those eyes told me he wa s ready and all the love he had for us was in those beautiful eyes. Less than an hour later the vet informed us he has cancer all in his liver. She put him down. I still feel that pain. I have never in my life been so bonded with a pet. All Aussie wanted was to be loved and he was loved more than anything in my life. The only thing greater was his love for us. I miss you boy, Dad
