So sorry to hear of another beautiful one lost to cancer.

I know exactly how you feel about not getting to say goodbye. My Annie was in surgery when the vet called from the OR to tell me what he was finding. I chose not to let her wake up.... but I have felt badly ever since about having her there all day waiting for surgery, and then never getting to say goodbye. I'm getting over it, but I know how you feel. Try to take comfort in knowing that you gave him a wonderful life and did everything you could for him. He's one beautiful Rottie angel watching over you until he can see you again.
