    Emily Fine's owner Thank you Aimee. To some people a dog is just a dog. But I love these creatures on a different level. I find comfort in hearing from those who understand. I appreciate your kind thoughts. I am still crying. Expect I will for the rest of my life. But, I have another wonderful dog - an English Mastiff named Bella - who seems to be in worse shape than the rest of us. Helping her is helping all of us. Soon we will get her a new companion and the excitement of a new puppy will energize the house. There will never be another dog like my Jackson, however. He will always be the dog by which I judge all others. Thank you for starting this site. There is so much comfort to be found in people who share this intense passion for dogs.

    Cody's owner Oh Emily. I am so sorry for your loss of Jackson. I lost my Cody almost two years ago. He also had hemangiosarcoma. I still miss him so much. But it does get easier with time. The pain will get duller, but you will always miss your baby. I cried every day for the first month, then, every week or so and now two years later, I can actually think of him and not break down in tears. I know what you mean about knowing about the cancer. It is a fear that is always with you, but somehow you have to learn to live with it. Sending you healing thoughts. Jackson will always be in your hear.

    Bleu's owner Bleu went for his second Chemo treatment on the 17th, and so far so good. He is still very active and shows no negative side effects. Also, good news, over the last week or so, the spotty blood that was seen in his diaper has been nonexistent. :)

    Bailey's owner Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed Beauty without Vanity, Strength without Insolence, Courage without Ferocity, and all the Virtues of Man, without his Vices. This Praise, which would be unmeaning flattery if inscribed over human ashes, is but a just tribute to the Memory of Bailey, a Dog. ~taken from George Gordon, Lord Byron, "Inscription on the Monument of a Newfoundland Dog" (original name of dog is Boatswain)

    Bailey's owner And I am biased because my baby's name was Bailey also. It's six months since he left me and I still miss him every minute of everyday. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your beautiful little girl. Stay strong.

      Bullet Girl's owner Thank you Laurie. I looked through the dogs last night and saw your beautiful Bullet also. It is nice to hear stories of those that beat the beast. It can give hope where there is little. My Bullet had it in her CNS where it is very hard to treat. The drugs just don't cross the blood brain barrier well. She was a wonderful, gentle girl and I appreciate every day I did have with her!

    Bleu's owner Feb 6th. Bleu loves the snow, and we got over a foot of it today. We went running and playing in the snow. You would never know he was sick. Aside from spotty blood in his urine and diaper, he looks and acts fine.

    Bleu's owner Bleu went back to the Vet's on the 3rd of February for blood work (CBC). It did show a slight decline in his white cell count, but not enough to worry about, or for him to be put on antibiotics. He is still very playful, and full of energy.

    Ginger's owner I am so sorry... Your Maggie looks a lot like my Ginger. What a sweetheart. How sad to lose both so close together. I understand what you mean about their stoic nature. Labs are not complainers. Please remember to take care of yourself. There is always something to learn from our dear fuzzy friends.

      Anouch's owner Thank's for that Ginger's Girl (if my memory serves me right, you are a girl...). My holistic vet recommended I do the Heartgard every 2 mths rather than every month... living in Australia, I followed her suggestion, but I will keep that website in mind (they have other great stuff). I am giving Anouch slippery elm to help clean up the toxins of the meds too. Appreciate your input. Anouch's girl

    Cody's owner Hi everyone, I am posting a message from a member that posted to my wall as I think the community can provide her with insight: "Hey, wanted to ask you if you know of this heartworm meds called Heartgard Brown chews. Heartworm is really bad in this area, and I didn't want to give Anouch the annual shot, and my holistic vet recommends giving him these tablets every 2 months. Any thoughts???" Any feedback, please post to: http://www.fightdogcancer.com/dogs/6-anouch-golden-retriever-Hemangiosarcoma

    Maggie's owner 4 weeks after I lost my Maggie, her little sister Mollie went to be with her. Mollie was originally my roommates dog and the two were so close, that I kept them together with me. Mollie went into a deep depression when Mag passed and 4 weeks later her body shut down. I lost both my babies in a month.

    Rena's owner Dear Jake's Mom, Jake's story caught my eye b/c my dog Rena died of HSA in December. I must say that you and Jake did well without chemo, considering Rena got chemo and lived about the same length of time. She handled it pretty well and her prognosis was dire...only given a month without it, so we went ahead. I also changed her diet, cranked up her immune system, added accupuncture and a host of other herbs and treatments, including Yunnan Baiyao. The holistic vet suspected that she might be having small bleeds, as she was anemic, too. She never had overt episodes until the last day when she collapsed three times. She was my second German Shepherd to get HSA, and each time it's a monster. The first time, I was totally in the dark, but it's gruesome no matter what. As she was my best girl, I spent the holidays sad and depressed. Three weeks ago, I went to the local shelter to look at a yellow lab my husband commented on, and just as I was leaving, a woman came in to surrender a stray she found: A German Shepherd/suspect something like a Malamute, who was very young and handsome ~ 8 months old. I blurted out "That is exactly what I want"...It happened that she and I walked back to the parking lot and she gave me the dog. I have to say that the timing seemed auspicious, and it seemed like he was meant for me. I have been so happy to have a dog again, even though this youngster is very different from my Rena, and it's still fairly soon-sooner than I would normally have thought to look for another dog. I just want to remind you how great they are, each and every one.
