Oh I'm so sorry! 
We lost Jack 3 weeks ago to cancer (suspected squamous cell tonsillar carcinoma). He developed obvious problems to us the week after he won his veteran racing champion title in March this year. We miss him so much but I'm also amazed at how well he performed that day considering his condition.
Dogs indeed are amazing, they can stand up in the face of adversity and surprise us all. Our other dogs were also aware of a loss but I think dogs accept their lives can be short lived and it's the survival of the pack thats more important to them. I also think that dogs have an uncanny awareness of illnesses like cancer as I'm pretty sure his brother was aware he was going to die and was brooding over him in the last week of his illness. I suspect that maybe your dogs had also been aware and sort of come to terms with the situation too.
I'm so glad Joy had a lovely holiday with you, I'm sure it's the best of memories she could take with her and you'll cherish them forever.
Rest In Peace Joy

Just found the strength to read this topic, i suppose there is only one good thing about finding out your loved dog has a terminal illness, that you have time to spoil them and make them as happy as possible with whatever time they have left. Clearly this is what you did and i'm so sorry you have lost such a lovely girl in this tragic way
