We lost our 14 year old yellow lab to cancer the night before Thanksgiving in 2008. I was devastated as I had had her within hours of her birth, and long before having met my husband or had children - she was my baby! After her death we only lasted about 2 months before we just had to have another 4 legged love in the house. We rescued 8 year old Meg from a shelter in January. She is very timid and unfortunately shows signs of having been abused in the past. At her first check-up with our veterinarian we learned that she too had cancer. As you can imagine we were all once again devastated by the news. Luckily, our vet was able to perform surgery to remove the cancerous tumor and now she is cancer free. She is a wonderful, loving dog and we can't imagine being without her!
