Jill Stout commented on Lynn Sexton's group Fight K9 cancer"I think that Cancer and every other disease needs to take a vacation and leave us all alone---at least through the holidays. It would be nice if they would go away for good, but barring that, holidays need to be stress free and happy.

A Prayer for Animals
Hear our humble prayer, O God, for our friends the animals,
especially for animals who are suffering;
for animals that are overworked, underfed and cruelly treated;
for all wistful creatures in captivity that beat their wings against bars;
for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry;

The Rebirth a most beautiful poem
The Rebirth
I was standing in the middle of a field with all the dogs from my life
as the dewdrops danced gently on the flowers…
As the sun began to rise, to envelop us all,
kissing us with its light, peace slid around us to endower,
The feeling of being one, with nature and beast,
those running pieces of my heart on four paws began to surround me,
Their happy yips of joy, their yodels and cries,

Just A Dog
From time to time, people tell me, “lighten up, it’s just a dog”, or, “that’s a lot of money for just a dog”. They don’t understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for “just a dog”. Some of my proudest moments have come about with “just a dog”. Many hours have passed and my only company was “just a dog”, but I did not once feel slighted. Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by “just a dog” and in those…

Andrew Hicks said… - Yip ... we're living in Greenville, SC. We had him at the Upstate Veterinary Specialist and was seen by Dr. Pressley. I need to make a follow up appointment after doing more research and decide on our course of action.

- Thanks Lynn. I really appreciate the support. I was worried this morning. Gilbert didn't want to eat his food and still only took a little bit in when I hand fed him. He went back to his bed and just lay there and didn't want to get up. But, I've just come home from work and had him and his sister greet me with big happy wagging tails, big smiles and that look that just expresses how much love they have to give. Many thanks for the support. Time to do more research and trust that we make the right decisions.

Christine Staller said… - Bishop is my best bud!! I got him when he was a little over a year old, and the people who had him were splitting up,... The first 6 months I had him, he "smiled" at me an awful lot! Was used to getting his own way all the time, so had to adjust to realizing that I was in charge. Since then, he has been the best ever! Even through all the pain he's gone thru with his back surgery and now the tumor, and biopsy and cancer, he has never once snipped at anyone who's been helping him in any way. He was training to be a service dog, until the slipped disc. He was a major help to me during my back problems - letting me pull and tug to turn myself over. So when he had his back surgery, it was my turn - turning him over during the night, finding a harness to carry his back end so I could take him outside,...This cancer tumor came completely out of left field, and thru us for a loop. But we'll do what we can for as long as we can!

Clara said… - Lynn, I am so sorry for not writing sooner. It has been a long time since I have been on the message board. Well, I must tell you that Pablo is doing well. He has no deep pain sensation and although I am not giving hope that he will walk one day- it's time for wheels. He is such a good boy and it has been very difficult for everyone and I must admit, especially me. I did not realize that I did not want to leave the house because I felt guilty that he could not go out with me. It got really bad and I am just starting to hopefully, get out of this deep depression. I am going to continue giving him the best care that I can but boy, it is hard. Thanks so much for reaching out. I do hope that everyone is doing well on the message board and that our little angels all around the world are in the best care that they can be. I will keep all of you and your little ones in my prayers. Please do the same for Pablo. Thanks again.

Gwen Haynes said… - Hello Lynn
thank you so much for your kind words and your thoughts and prayers for us both. I do pray for a miracle but I am afraid that none will be coming. I have her heavily medicated with some hardcore drugs at the moment to keep her comfortable. We are hoping that by Sat. she can come off of them and that the intravenous drugs we tried on Friday will kick in and provide the pain relief we were hoping for without resorting to the hardcore drugs. I just know when you head there with those kinds of drugs, there is no turning back and that what you feared this whole time will have to be decided. I pray that it is not her time.

Lori Lotts said… - Thanks Lynn! Yes, the picture is of my Angel.
You know, when the vet first told it was cancer, I almost put her down right then. I just didn't want to see her suffer. But there was the smallest of small chances that it was just a sinus infection and that is what kept me from putting her down.
It was just this last weekend, when I was watching a show on Discovery that I saw the story of a sick dog who was taken to a holistic vet. I couldn't believe it, so I did more research and found one in my area. The big shocker was that I see an H.M.D. myself and couldn't believe I didn't think of it sooner.
So I have decided that this is not a death sentence for her... I will help her fight this. I am very happy that I found this site and this group. :)

Joseph Altieri said… - Lynn, THANK YOU! Your words are very reassuring. I lost my boy, River in 2007 to a very rare sarcoma...and, like you, wish I had known about this website then. Now that we are dealing with Jack's cancer, I am so appreciative for this kind of resource. I am looking forward to spending time here. The love and support couldn't be more welcome.

- Thank you, Lynn. I never thought I'd find myself in these circumstances, so it's good to know there's a community out there willing to lend an ear, and share their experiences.

- Thank you all for your support and your prayers. They have meant so much to me. I printed them out and put them on my refrigerator and read them again and again. We see the vet on Wednesday to get her stitches out and on Thursday, we have a second opinion with another doctor. I am praying for all of you and your animals, both here and the Rainbow Bridge. I admire all of you for your courage, and hope that one day I will be strong enough to help others as much as you have helped me.
