i wish i had different news to tell you all but we had to help our boy to the bridge yesterday morning. The hardest thing ive ever done in my life. We found out that he had lung cancer and one of the nodules burst, so that was all the blood around his lungs. They aspirated the fluid a few times but it just kept coming back. I keppt him home with me on saturday night and then took him to the ER Vet on Sunday morning. They gave him IV fluids cause he wasnt eating or drinking and kept an eye on him all day. We then picked him up Sunday night so he could be home with us and his brother and sister. I couldnt imagine him being all alone all night. He slept on the kitchhen floor all night, got up a few time and just stood over his water bowl till his legs slid from under him. It was the most painful thing to watch. He had this blank look in his eyes and wouldnt even look at us, as if he was ashamed. It tore me in half. I cant beleive my poor baby had lung cancer, he wasnt even 2 years old yet!! Me & dh couldnt let him go on anymore with all he was going thru, it just wasnt fair to him. My vet offered to biopsy the nodules she even thought there might be a slight slight chance it was fungus but that would have been just her hanging on to a hope. I just couldnt let him go on that way anymore, not for our own selfishness. He wasnt the same Torque that i new, he was nothing like him. My house feels so empty, he was the life in here. He got my other two to get into the messes. He got them to play nonstop. Now they are just laying around doing nothing. My poor sweet boy is gone. Im due December 26th and he was the one i pictured best friends with my daughter. He just loved kids so much. I cant beleive hes gone. Please pray for us cause we need it. I feel like my whole worlds been turned upside down. Thank you all so much for your well wishes. We really appreciate it.

Oh, my, what can I say? I am so sorry your Torque is gone. He was so very young, not even two years old. So unfair to you and to Torque. I lost my Petey two months ago. Though he was likely 7 or 8 years old,( a rescue, picked up as a stray), diagnosed and treated for Cushing's, in the end, his legs would give out while eating or drinking, just like your Torque, I could not allow this great boxer boy to lose all dignity. Like you, I said good bye to my best friend. It hurts like the dickens.
My condolences to you and your family.
Godspeed dear Torque.

I am writing this post with tears running down my face. I am so very sorry for the loss of your sweet Torque.
Our Quincy (3 1/2 yrs) died in June this year due to a tumor on his lung which burst and bled out.
I know exactly what you are feeling right now. It is such heartache, especially because it is so unexpected and he was so very young.
Your story of him standing over his water bowel when his legs just slid out from under him is exactly what Quincy did. It made me cry because I knew the pain you must have felt when you saw that and how totally helpless you are.
Please know that you, your family and Torque are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

I just dont understand it. He was so young. He had so much love left in him and he had to go this early and so fast. I miss my boy so much it hurts everywhere. How could this be???? I will never get to see him again. I will never get to lay with him. He made everything so much fun, i loved to watch his crazy burn outs that he did daily, either in my room around the bed or in the living room on the couch. He got so much joy out of that. My other 2 would just look at him like he was crazy and then sometimes join in. Man he could get them going and theyd all be going nuts. I just cant imagine not seeing him everyday. They say its going to get better but i cant see it. i just want my boy back.

I am so sorry. I wish I could make this all better for you. My heart is breaking also. Torque was such a special baby. I know how bad it hurts. You are allowed to cry and miss him all you want. Remember you have friends here that are more than happy to laugh, cry, and just scream with you. We send you our love and prayers. God speed to you Torque and enjoy your burn as you run at the bridge. You are a special soul.
