Oh crap, this thread is so not fair. I had to unexpectedly have my 3 legged Buster the Beagle put to sleep last Thursday
He became 3 legged last February in a battle with cancer, and we didnt know until last week that the cancer came back full force and consumed his belly.
Buuuuut, in other news, when the time is right (I dunno when) I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to rescue a couple of more dogs. When we got Buster, we lived in an apartment, so he was the only one we had room for. We're planning to get 2 next time so they have a playmate. Buster was a grumpy old man who slept all day, so he didn't want a playmate.
