So sad

This is Montana, or Aunty Montana as the clan call her as she is our foster berner, been living with the clan on and off for over two years. A lovely girl with a fab temperament,if a bit barky at times. It was her bark that was the first sign that all was not well, it went high pitched and she wretched after eating. Nothing to worry about said vets, blood tests came back clear, bark almost returned to usual pitch, but she was not right. Slower than usual we hoped this was due to her bad hip score, but she started absenting herself from circuits of the bonsai mountain, sneaking off when no one was looking. The weight loss was a worry, so today she went back to vet, we knew it would be bad, it is, cancer in her thorax, inoperable, six weeks or so to live. We all know Berners are prone to cancers. Its such a shame for such lovely dogs. The clan at Rock HQ is a bit subdued today.
