Meet Daisy, If you haven't already.
She a beautiful Mastiff-Great Dane mix. She's 6 years old and the most loyal dog you will ever meet. Six years is mid-life for a dog of this size, (she topped out a 141lbs) but unfortunately not for Daisy. A week ago she went in to the see the Vet for a shot and everything seemed fine. Saturday that same week she started limping. I did what any good dog owner would do and started feeling for anything strange or unusual. I found nothing. The next morning she was limping a bit more so I watched her and looked around again. Still nothing. Sun afternoon rolls around and I give her bath and notice a large lump on her right leg just above the paw. I didn't waste any time calling my friend who also happens to be Daisy's Vet. So now it's Monday night and I take her in to get looked at. Sure enough, It's an aggressive cancer. It looks like we have another month or so with her and that's it. I'm not sure why I'm compelled to put this on a blog except that I know there are people who care and I will use this as a place to share stories about her and updates on her condition.
Beyond that I don't know what this blog will be. I'll try to post less depressing things as well. Who knows, maybe something interesting will came of it.
Thanks for reading,
Robert

i've had the pleasure of being slobberd on by miss daisy!!! he is right a great dog she is!!
I am very sorry to hear it. She is a GREAT dog and definately the best looking one in the household!!
In July 2008, Evie Ivie, Glendale, Arizona, Fawn English Mastiff I found a lump in her abdomen. The vet confirmed cancer. Unfortunately it was so agressive we lost her in a week. We recently found a 4 mos. Mastiff Dane in the paper. Possibly a new friend for Kaylie our Great Dane, 8. We are viewing her this Sat. We are very stressed about a puppy. We'll see. Sorry to hear of Miss Daisy's cancer. Sincerely, Laurel
