The staffy named Spud was also uninjured.
Who calls their dog Spud ?? Call your kid or your wife Spud, but dogs deserve better !!!

The ex-wife has 3 Yorkies.
All very different in terms of body shape and personality.
The youngest and smallest in stature, Teddy, has the strongest and most dominant personality.
He has an insatiable hunger to play with his favourite spongy ball, yet is reluctant to give it up once retrieved.
The denial of the ball to his human masters has become a game in itself 
His bigger sister Gemima is far more chilled.
The other guy Milo does not appear in this video, and is most likely up the back corner telling the Cavalier from next door who runs this town !

Mumâs border collie is in a bad way right now 
Fell off the bed a few days back, been limping since, got an x-ray and has broken the leg at the site of a suspicious looking mass. Odds-on itâs bone cancer. Options are limited and unpleasant, probably leading towards amputation of the back leg in the best case. Which for a dog with arthritis in both hips and whoâs considerably overweight, is a pretty damn crap best case, and that assumes the cancer hasnât spread already.
Heâs a huge good-natured silly brute whoâs getting on a bit but who is still perfectly happy and alert otherwise. Not a happy day.

So sorry to hear this. Our last dog, Zac, a beautiful Doberman also had bone cancer. He was 12 & it was in his front leg. He also had spinal issues so amputation was not an option. I have seen many stories of dogs who manage very well with 3 legs so itâs very much a case by case decision. Had he been able to cope with the surgery I can see that the amputation would remove the pain and hopefully give a dog a happier and prolonged life.
Wishing your mum & her dog all the best. Not an easy time at all but Iâm sure youâll be guided by your Vet and knowing whatâs the best the option yourself for the dog.
Sucks on every level.
Wishing your mum and her lovely boy the best of outcomes.
Thatâs devastating. Good luck
wishing humble and his mum and the dog canât forget the dog all the best
Just an update on Rocky. He is back to his normal self. We had to take him back to the vet today because his incision swelled up to the size of my first. As normal Rocky was trying to hug and kiss all the vets and nurses. They had to drain the swelling and got 150mls out. Hopefully it will settle down over next few days. Stitches will still be another week before they come out. They called for the test results and they are being written up now so will have them sometime this afternoon.

Hi All. I had a call from the vet tonight and it was the best news we could hope for. The vet was so happy and emotional when she told us the news. First good news she said was the results confirmed that the tumour or any remnants of it were all successfully removed. The second part was that the grading of the mast cell tumour was low which is the best one and the least dangerous which means Rocky will not have to have anymore ongoing treatment for this one. Once he gets his stitches out next week and the swelling goes down he should be back to 100%. The vet did say that once a dog has had one of these that they are more prone than other dogs to get some more later on so we just need to keep an eye out for any that might appear and have any lumps checked and removed immediately. I canât say how happy we are. My wife was very emotional and started to cry when I called her to tell her the good news. Thanks to everyone for the support and kind wishes we have received on blitz. It definitely helps. The dog thread is the best one on blitz. Cheers.

Said goodbye to mumâs dog today.
Bone cancer and a horribly broken leg, suspicious shadows on his liver, and the only treatment option an amputation that given the state of his spine and other hip, would have left him immobile and only gained maybe 6 months.
The price we pay for dogs, is knowing that the day will come when the dog will be gone.

Very sad, mate. As someone who has had to go through this a few times and also someone who tends to bond with animals more than humans, I know how hard it can be. But as I tell myself in these times - itâs our responsibility and our duty to make the right call when our little friends canât do it for themselves.

Yeah, i know. Right thing to do, but it still sucks, and you second-guess yourself forever.
