Payton is doing so much better now. He is starting to get his confidence back again and acting like the Payton of the past. I don't regret the amputation and chemo now, at first I questioned and struggled with my decision for days. He is running again and doing his dance that he use to do when he wants a treat. I still pray everyday for him and hope that he stays in remission for a long time to come. He gets up in bed with me again and snuggles up with me like he use too(He's a bed hog). I thank god for everyday I have left with him. I hope this blog will give positive inspiration to anybody else who faces a similar situation. You truly are a fighter Payton and I hope you never give up your fight against this horrible disease.

Thank you for your story. I just found out on Tuesday that my 9 year old angel of a Rottweiler, Presley, has bone cancer. My head has been swirling every minute since with what to do. I always said that I would do whatever I could for Presley, no matter what. If for no other reason than as a small repayment on the joy and comfort she has brought me since the day I got her when she was 6 weeks old. I'm leaning towards amputation as well (front left leg) but I've had people tell me to have the biopsy first even though the oncologist could easily tell from the x-rays that it was cancer. But then another told me that biopsy or not, chances are that amputation would be the end result. I don't want to waste any more time for fear of spreading so I'm really struggling here. Your story helped me... in whatever way, it helped. Thank you.
