I know somewhat of how you feel. I lost my own GSD(German Shepard) on 2/25.
We to believe she died of cancer. I got I got this from a message written to
me when I told them of Taffy dieing. This applies to any pet, be it dog, cat
bird, reptile, cattle or horses.
                              Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal 
dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow 
Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all our special friends so they can 
run and play together. There is plenty of food, water, and sunshine and our 
friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who have been ill and old 
are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made 
hole
and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times 
gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they 
each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all
run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks 
into the distance. His or her bright eyes are intent; his or her eager body 
begins to quiver. Suddenly, he or she begins to run  from the group, flying
over the green grass, his or her legs carrying him or her faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you
cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses 
rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look 
once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your  life 
but 
never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together...
