had a hundred lbs shepherd that I had to put down at 13 yo, now my wolf dog is 12, has a huge tumor, pancreatitis. 1400 bucks at vet hospital. they got him in fairly good shape, but once again I’ll come home with an empty collar and leash, and wife will hate me. Maybe a couple months, IDK. Just a dad thing I guess

Oh my so sorry, it is tough. Prayers for both of you.
Btw also being as Dad is a tought job many times as well. Hang in there, you're a good Dad.

Being that dad also has consequences, might travel to LA to make sure that mass can’t be removed, not just me, wife loves wolf dog very much. Fo her I’ll have tests done.20 years after I put Brutus down she’s still pissed

Losing a dog is always difficult. But, losing a wolf dog is more complicated. My grandfather had wolves in Alaska. The bond with a wolf is more intense than a dog. They are a part of your pack/family in a way that a dog never aspires to. Difficult to explain unless you have ever had a wolf in your pack. Your wife will experience loss of this at a different level than losing a mere pet.
