Confused and Overwhelmed-Diagnosed Anal Sac Carcinoma (Woody has passed)

Tracy, I'm just so sorry. When you get a chance would you tell Woody that I will always remember him as the delightfully crazy head spinning Woody in his latest video and he was so awesome handsome! That was some performance for the camera.
I'm so sorry and my heart is breaking for you and Woody. Sending my prayers and hugs.

Oh no, such devastating news! So sad. Woody nor you don't deserve this outcome. I'm so very sorry. He's such a little dear.

Hugs to all,
Bonnie and Angel Criss Ann

Tracy:
I just love your little man Woody. I can't even express how I feel but just to cry, this is heart wrenching, God Help You Both. Blessings
Patti

Just wanted you to know I am still here thinking of you both, finding it hard to concentrate on work.

Hope you are holding up as ok as you can be

Woody has left the building :eek: We had a good afternoon walking well mostly carrying Woody and it was obvious he couldn't stay with me any longer so I let him go accross the bridge. I'm just leaving the hospital I'm devasted.

So I would like you all to raise your glasses/cups of teas whatever you drink to Woody cheeky monkey Steele who fought cancer with grace, dignity and off course humour. So here's to you wee man I love you and safe journey you can chase as many rabbits as you want now

Your heartbroken mom xxxx

Tracy, I am just devastated to read this latest news about Woody. I can't stop crying at my desk. I don't know what else to say, I just can't stop crying. I'm so sorry and am praying for you and your sweet sweet boy.

Love and hugs,
Tina and Jasper

Oh Tracy, ((((Hugs))))

I am so very sorry. Sending love and my deepest sympathy. Safe journey precious boy. xo

Tracy,

The world lost a mighty warrior today. I'm so sorry. I asked my Angel, Criss, to take good care of Woody.

RIP, Wee Lad

Bonnie and Angel Criss Ann

I am truly sorry. Run free sweet boy, run free! :(

Tracy

I am so sorry to read your post, I don't really have any words right now. I am gutted for you.

Roam free wee sweet bonnie lad x

So sorry. Sending my deepest condolences on Woody's passing.

Sail on Woody.

I didn't have to open your thread, just saw the title in my in box. I am so sorry. Words are just that, but I really hope you take comfort knowing that you did everything you could. I was and am sick for you.

Bonnie said it... we've lost a warrior today. My sincerest, deepest condolences.

Tracy:
I am so devastated by this news, I am shaking as I type this. I have cried all day over Woody and you. I really know how you must feel. Your best and most loyal friend in the whole world is gone. I never imagined that things would turn out this way. Woody was a one of a kind dog, that kept me laughing at his larger than life personality. You will see him again on day and he will be your good old Woody free of pain. God Bless you sweet Woody, run free. God Bless you Tracy what a courageous women you are.
Patti

Ah Woody man how we will miss you! My Annie and Haley (cush angels) join with the other angels to meet you at the bridge. Haley will give you huge hugs and Annie will flirt relentlessly with you.

Please look down upon your dear mom tonight and let her know you are doing ok. She loves you so very much. Heck we all do. RIP sweet angel - your spirit will live on forever here.

Tracy, I can't think of a single word to help right now. Just know we are mourning your dear boy. If there is anything at all that we can help you with just let us know. Much love, Kim

Tracy, I am absolutely heartbroken for you and for Woody. What a courageous little Soul. We have all been blessed to get to know him and will miss him deeply. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.

Our deepest sympathies,
Leslie, Squirt, Trinket, Brick, Sophie, Grace and all our Angels

Oh Tracy, I am so very sorry. Woody knows how much he was so very loved. I am sure there is a special place at the rainbow bridge, where all our cush pups gather and run free through the meadows.

Rest in Peace Sweet Woody, tonight, you are our newest and brightest star in the night sky........

I'm sorry, Tracy. I'm truly so sorry.

I am so deeply sorry to read about Woody. We here will always honor your little Angel and he will forever live in the hearts of all those who were so honored to have known him. RIP Dear Woody.

r.i.p little woody, you will be missed dearly.

Am thinking of you both x

Thank you everyone for your kind words, I really do appreciate it. It was a long drive back from the hospital knowing he wasn,t there or was going to be at home to greet me with his wiggly bum (tail wagging). It took me an age to actually go through the front door, as everything is still in its place, his toys, his beds, his dishes everything, that was hard. But I,m happy (well maybe not the correct word) that I made the correct decision for woody, it was the last thing that I could do for him. I feel like I,ve lost a limb, just so numb and it all feels so surreal. :mad:

Mel - I saw you lite a candle for Woody that was so sweet of you and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that. I hope work went ok for you today and you weren,t too tired from keeping me company.

I also have to thank Trish for listening to me ramble on the last few days and keeping her up late.

An off course all the K9 angels, who have helped me through all this and taking Woody and I to their hearts for that I will always be grateful.

Tracy & Woody (from the bridge) xx

I wish I could have done more and I am sure each and every other member who has followed your spunky wee man felt the same today.

Normal isn't normal anymore for you and we are all here for you day and night to support you in any way we can

My heart broke with yours today and I am so sorry xx

Tracy, there are no words to express how sad and what a hole Woody leaves. We were so blessed to have you and woody and that you allowed us into your lives and shared what an extraordinary little guy he was.
I cannot imagine how devastated you must be right now. Even when making the right decision, the pain is still there. Poor little guy, at least he is no longer in any pain and there are tons of playmates waiting for him at the bridge.
my sincerest condolences.
love
Sharlene

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's so hard to see your best friend go but I know you did everything you could for him. He knows that too. It's such a difficult time, my heart goes out to you.

Tracy I just read about your Woody and wanted to tell you how sorry I am that you had to say goodbye to your baby. My heart breaks for you. I'm so sorry. Big hugs to you.

Tracy,
I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of your sweet boy Woody.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Big hugs.

Hi Tracy

Just wanted you to know I am online. Thinking of you

Hello darl

I am finally home, its nearly 11pm here and left this house at 7am. Thank you so much for sending me your messages today while I was at work I had to go into the loo when I saw them in my inbox so I could read them and shed a silent tear for you and Woody and then head back out to work some more.

I have had to go to a party straight after work, I organised it for a my favourite colleague who retired this week. But I have been thinking of you and dear Woody and raised my glass to toast your both, I said to you last night you had to be strong for him and by crikey you were Tracy, such unselfishness on your part. I had a friend who was the sober driver tonight and we just drove home right along the beach front. There was this most gorgeous orange full moon coming up over the horizon and it was 10.30 at night! I said to her oh look at that huge orange moon, that must be Woody painting the sky red for us tonight. I think she thought I had finally lost the plot until I told her about my Scottish friend who had lost her darling boy today and so we drove along looking at the beautiful moon and I was thinking how much cancer blardy sucks and how unfair this all is. RIP Woody, you were a much loved boy and your family will be missing you dreadfully. I am here for you Tracy, I so admire your strength through all this xxxxx

Thanks for your post on T's thread. I hope you are holding up as ok as you can be.

Tia liked a sunbathe too, she wasn't that great at sharing it mind so poor Woody shouldn't be surprised if she gives him a kick in the ribs to shove over, she did it to her brother all the time!

Sending you a great big hug

Oh Mel sorry I missed you last night, I just went to bed at that time, I managed to get a little sleep, but mostly just lay in the dark with my thoughts.

I got up this morning and went into the kitchen and like every morning I shouted "Woody Tablets" only he never came running in like he used to :( He did love his heart meds as they were beef flavoured anything for food :)

My mum goes for her cancer check up today and I was supposed to take her, but I just couldn,t, I so hope its good news don,t know if I can take anymore bad news this week.:confused:

No worries, I just like you to know your not on your own if you feel like a chat.

It breaks your heart all over again, I so wish it could have been different for you both

Am sure you mum understands they love him too, praying for good news for her today babe

Trish/Mel

Must,ve posted at the same time as you. Painting the sky red that was him making his way on his final journey I bed if you looked closely you would have seen a trial of destruction behind him. lol
I,m trying so hard to get my head round how quick this all happened, as last week he was playing throwing his toys everywhere and now he,s gone. But he wouldn,t have wanted to be sick every day I knew he wouldn,t cope with that, so he bounced into this world and my heart and he bounced back out, but he took a piece of my heart with him :(

Destruction is what is expected from a JR Terrier

It's such a shock I am sure, so hard to get your head around all the things they were discussing to this point.

You did the right thing by him Tracy, I know you are now suffering but you did that so he didn't have to.

I am hosting a meeting now but I will be in and out throughout the day x

Well there has been a bit of hail so that might be his trail of destruction. I know I think the speed of this has shocked us all Tracy, so fast. In some ways that is good, good for Woody that he did not have to struggle for long, bad for you as you do not have so much time to prepare. I hate that this has happened and I still do not know what way is better. Personally I don't think there is a better way as you still end up hurting in the end.

I was so pleased it was Ian with you, I loved his caring ways and he sounds like he was so upset too. I think Woody will live long in your vets minds as a puzzle, he confounded them all.

I hope your Mum gets a good report today xxxx

Yeah I,m glad Ian was there, he was in bits, and couldn,t believe had fast this had happened. He told me during the afternoon that Woody was the 12th patient with an Neuroendocrine Tumour in the whole of the UK this year so its pretty rare. I spoke with Craig yesterday as I,ve known him for 15 plus years, to ask his advice and he said he would do the same although you know your making the right decision its always good to have it confirmed.

I have to say the hospital were wonderful yesterday, the had set aside a room for us with access to the grounds outside for a walk and got me sweet tea when it was over. They will deal with everything save me doing, his ashes, cancelling the insurance and anything else I need. So all I need to deal with is his stuff and the big empty hole he has left in my life.

And that should be all you have to cope with right now. Your pet hospital is awesome taking care of that for you, big ups to them. Craig has been great too, so reassuring to speak with those you trust to make sure you are doing the right thing. I am so glad they were there for you Tracy. Must have been some horrible conversations you have had.

Did you actually sleep last night, have you eaten... sorry but I have to get the practicalities out the way... ask Kathy, I am the food police at a time like this! xx
