Hello and good morning.
Well,my best friend had her vet appointment this morning.
And it’s not good news unfortunately.
The tumor on her abdomen is a fast growing cancer,and the ones on her back side is cancer too.
The vet said that this cancer will continue to spread.
I mentally prepared myself for this…BUT…there is also good news.
She had spoken with a rescue who has the funds for my dog to have the surgery covered.I don’t have to pay anything.
They took blood from her to make sure the cancer hasn’t spread.
The vet says she has a 50/50 chance of the cancer not coming back,which is good,I suppose than leaving this untreated.
So this is the update for now.Have a good weekend everyone. -

If it’s what is best for her, keep that top of mind. It doesn’t matter when you have to part, it’s going to hurt you, no matter how much time you get to have together. But if she is suffering and facing declining health, becoming more uncomfortable and being unhappy just going through what she is, it’s the supreme kindness, unselfish gift you can give her. It hurts from deep, deep within, but it hurts everyday you see her suffer, too. This way, she will pass in peace. You can know you acted only in her best interest, not your own, because we would keep them forever if we could. This is why I shared what helped me after saying goodbye to Beauty Girl (petting and sleeping with a stuffed toy, having a picture of her made, donating her food and things to the shelter), and why our community is here to share their experiences and moving through the terrible emptiness and grief. Dianne, you WILL find the pain easing, and you will have times when the tears and pain flood over and through you. But, please try to think of the great life, love and joy you shared. She could have lived on the streets and had a horrible life, but you gave her all you could and I hope you will think kindly of yourself. Now, you let us know what the vet says, and if you do say goodbye, clip a little fur to save- I did that and am glad to have a bit of my beloved with me. We are all here for you. {{HUG}} -

My anxiety is in overdrive because I am stressing over Princess’s vet appointment tomorrow.I feel super sick over this.In my heart,I know what has to happen,and I know it would be selfish of me to not ease her transition to the Bridge.My heart is breaking.She has been my best,loving little best friend in the world.

Oh Cathy. I never knew her and I am so very saddened, I know you and Milo are just destroyed. You will move through this together, and that’s the good part – you have each other. Please stay with us and let us know anything you want to share. Her is a HUGE {{HUG}} for you both. Toni -

Finally found a few toys Xena won\’t absolutely destroy! Something to test with Renzo @valleybandit56! 🙂
I also found this cute Pug plushie for Xena. She likes dragging it around. Don\’t have a name for her yet. Any suggestions?

So I don’t really know what will happen on Saturday morning when I take my dog to the vet.I am,however mentally preparing myself for having put her to sleep.
This lump is getting bigger,and it’s hard.She isn’t herself anymore.It isn’t fair to her to keep her alive if this lump gets bigger
I have nobody to help me,and I have been begging family members to help me by giving me a ride to the vet,but my pleas for help turn on deaf ears.I am not a bad pet mom.Please do not judge me.I live off of a monthly income,and I cannot drive anymore.
I know because she is 12,she wouldn’t survive being put under anesthesia.
Every night,I look at my little best friend,and know deep in my heart,what I may have to do for her.
Keep us in your prayers.-
I am so sorry to hear Dianne. No one will judge you here. You’re doing your best for your best friend. You both are in my thoughts.

Thank you Toni your sweet comments are very helpful. Milo looked for her and cried all day yesterday and continues today. I had to go pick up the cat carrier and pay my bill this morning. Not going to bring carrier inside yet. Gotta let Milo grieve and stop looking for her.
Thank you for caring so much, it means so much!!! -

Of course you will fall madly in love with whichever he brings you. I wasn’t expecting to have a young boy cat, but do, and couldn’t love him more. It’s an adjustment, going from a calm, old girl to a rambunctious big fellow, but he’s wonderful – at 4 this morning I awakened to a cold nose gently touching my lips. That was special ( of course, he wanted to eat and play, but I choose to think he was giving me lovin’). So do be sure to introduce us to whomever you get to welcome into your home and heart – how exciting! -

Oh Cathy, through tears I am writing to let you know how very, very sorry I am. One has to suspect there was something underlying that Trixie was relieved from now, but this is so hard – so young and so sweet. You are so kind to be so grateful for her brief time with you. I know our entire community joins me in sending you our deep and sincere sympathy. I will be thinking of you and hope to hear from you to let us know how you are doing. I had a canvas picture of my girl made and I pet it and talk to her every day. Maybe you would like to have one of Trixie. https://www.faithfulfriends.com/shop/pet-poster/
Cathy, I hope this heartfelt {{HUG}} helps you a little bit. Toni -

It is with a very heavy heart that I am letting you know my 7 month old (I have only had just over 2 months) Trixie died last night following surgery yesterday late afternoon. She had just gotten out of surgery and they were waiting for her to wake up to extubate her but she coded. They got her back and I just happened to have gone up there not knowing what had happened. I got to hold her for a few minutes. She never woke up and coded again at which time the vet called and said she did not make it. I am devestated but do know she knew love for the time with me and know she loved me.
RIP MY TRIXIE. YOU ARE NOW WHOLE AND CAN SEE AND HEAR. WILL MISS YOU UNTIL WE ARE TOGETHER AGAIN AT THAT RAINBOW BRIDGE. THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME BE YOUR MOM FOR 2 WONDERFUL MONTHS AND TEACHING LIFE LESSONS.-

Thank you. Actually, I can have a cat or dog that’s not over 25 lbs. & my 18vyr. old grandson said this longtime friend (a girl) her cat is pregnant & she said he gets the 1st pick. Seeing he already has it in his mind/heart to decide (without my help/opinion); to pick one for me, I did not have the heart to tell him if I wanted a boy or girll. So whichever one he getse I will be so happy/happier to have a new baby in my home. 👍🥰🌈💜❤️ - Load More
Prayers do work
Btw,her surgery is scheduled for June 1st at 8:00 am.
