Lifting up all those impacted by the floods and fires
I just got off the phone with my best friend up in Binghamton -- she teaches a pre-school that's part of a multi-generational program in a nursing home. Binghamton (sort of the middle of the bottom part of NY State near the PA border) has been HARD hit by flooding. The nursing home had to be evacuated...

Lift up Boomer please? Anyone else?
Boomer is a new IMHA dog -- he's in early, early days of treatment but the meds are really doing a number on his stomach and you gotta eat to keep down the meds that will save his life. We've got a few dogs right now in rough spots -- so add any as you feel led ... Candles Page

Good vibes needed for Ruby's cousin, Beau
We just found out that DH's sister's dog, Beau, has d-Con poisoning. The prognosis is very guarded -- the vet told them the next 12 hours will be touch and go. Unfortnately, they didn't see him eat the poison, so it's been in his system for a couple days or so. They took him to the...

Hurricane Thoughts and Prayers
It goes without saying that we'll be thinking of all our idog family who might be in the path of Irene - hoping everyone stays safe. But, could you all say a prayer for all the dogs in shelters, too? Some of them may be in dire straits if their shelter is in the path and there isn't a way to...

good thoughts for my neighbor's golden (kpwlee)
Ugh, my neighbor's golden, who is the biggest, laziest, sweetest dog you could ever know, is struggling to walk tonight. The husband called me as his wife and daughter are away and he came home to Cody not being able to get up. I brought over my webmaster harness and sling and we got him to a rug...

Update on the Johnson family - please keep the prayers coming
This is from today's posting. The part about Owen curling his toes around Susie's arm made well up with tears. Tuesday, July 26, 2011 10:17 AM, CDT We were told yesterday that no beds were available yet in Atlanta and not to expect to move until Thursday at the earliest. So we didn't...

Prayers for my Bugsy please - it was not cancer
Well the lump sure seems to be growing larger - not wider just taller, and may be more defined. I just spoke to the vet and he thinks it might be a mast cell tumor. We will keep him on Benadryl through Monday and if it is the same or worse we will have it removed on Tuesday. I've been hanging on...

Prayers for a friend
If you could include a friend in your prayers (or whatever you call them), he could use them. He is in his final days here on Earth and I'm wishful for a peaceful and pain-managed transition to whatever comes after this life for him. He has pacreatic cancer and has chosen to stay here in his home...

Wiley needs thoughts and prayers.
Wiley is my sister in law's little Chihuahua. He was a rescue as a senior and he's the sweetest thing. I love the little guy! Blair (SIL) took him to the vet for what was thought to be an infection in a tooth and now they believe it is actually bone cancer in the jaw. Very hard news as so many...

could use some spare vibes, please (erica1989)
My grandpa is not doing well. He was admitted to CCU about 1 1/2 weeks ago, after my aunt found him collapsed on the floor. They thought he was doing better... but reality is, he's not. The nurse said she'd be surprised if he makes it past 24 hours now.... He could go on for months, she said...
