As someone who is also grieving, I offer you my deepest sympathy. Hemangiosarcoma is a devastating disease. It shows no mercy. I lost my beautiful Labrador /Newfoundland cross only two months ago to this horrible disease. Nothing can prepare you for this diagnosis. He was my best friend and companion. My confidante and child. I will be forever grateful that we shared 11 and a half wonderful years. I am writing down these memories of our adventures together in a journal and it helps. I still cry, but not as much. I am able to smile now when I write stories of some of the silly things he did. I miss him terribly, but I am so glad he was a part of my life. I will love him for as long as I live and I know that someday, somewhere, somehow, we will be together again. Again, I offer my condolences and a virtual hug. I hope it helps.
