Bit of a rough weekend. Our most senior lab (nearly 14!) had been having some behavior changes (extra barky, losing weight) and last exam showed cancer.
A few days ago she started showing more signs of distress and discomfort (whining, heavy breathing, what seems to be disorientation). I had hoped she'd rally, have a few more good weeks or months, but it doesn't seem to be going that way.
We decided we should say goodbye tomorrow, after the oldest can come home from college to her. It sucks.
