Need some good thoughts for Jessie
As many of you know, Jessie has chronic pancreatitis. She found a piece of raw bacon on her walk this morning; it was in someone's yard near the curb. She got it before I realized what it was. She tried to get another piece but I stopped her. I called the vet and asked how long it would be before...

Prayers for Shayna please?
Shaya and her family have fought IMHA for many months -- she's battled MRSA (yes, dogs can get MRSA) for a while but her body has opened up a number of new areas of infection and the family has some hard choices to make. They're trying again with antibiotics. But prayers and good thots would...

Tessy's Lymphoma relapse
A few weeks ago Tessy relapsed with lymphoma due to drug resistence. Early last week I tried a rescue protocol in hopes it may put her back in remission. The drug seemed to be working for a day or two and then stopped working. Her nodes are starting to grow even bigger and for the first time in a long...

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...

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...

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...

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...
