Hi. A year ago our dog Sasha was diagnosed with a scapula area (“shoulder”) bone tumor. I know from that that the decision on whether or not to have surgery (amputation) is an anguishing one for some. I found the TRIPAWDS website extremely helpful, as well as one book i found on the website, which i subsequently ordered and read (the book is “Without Regret” – note i have no financial or other interests in promoting the book!). As someone who has researched the issue and gone through it, i am glad to discuss with others who are faced with that decision. Feel free to contact me. By the way, Sasha is doing great – we still go on frequent walks (though at a little slower pace with a couple of rest stops), she easily goes up and down the stairs, she hops up on the bed by herself (though i help her down), and still swims just as much as she did before the surgery. -Glenn
