She was diagnosed with bone cancer in her left front ankle on Feb. 20th 08. We discussed in depth with the oncologist about leg amputation and he suggested that we shouldn’t and if Amy could talk she would have said no way. Malmutes love to hike, hobbled with three legs would not go with her. We gave her pain med's for one month, but she was still in too much pain so on March 19th we had Dr. Kathy Freeman, a hospice vet come to our home and put her down on a grassy knoll where she loved to take her naps.

   She was given pain medication first that took the pain away and put her into a deep sleep, then Dr. freeman injected the fatal solution.
We had her cremated, but I'm not ready to spread her ashes, they are with us in our bedroom. Someday we will spread them when it is time. She gave us 8 beautiful years.
