Murphy's diagnosis- thanks for your prayers

Oh, thank you, Tonya, for letting me know about Butterscotch's experience. A couple of others have told me about cats and dogs that had this procedure. It helps so much to know that it has been successful since we had never even heard of it before yesterday!! All we want is for Murphy to be happy and comfortable and to see her "dance" for a long while to come!!! She has a special "dance" when she is happy and wants something like a cookie or some good food!!! She can dance to her heart's content and will most likely get whatever she wants after this surgery is completed!!!! :D :D :D

You are all so terrific. If I could hug you all right now, I would do it in a heartbeat!!!! :D

I hope everything goes well with Murphy!

Logan,

Can Murphy feel all the hugs, kisses and love that we want to give him? :) I'll continue to have him in my thoughts and prayers most especially for tomorrow's surgery...

When he's ok (I know he will ), can we have at least a picture of "Murphy's special dance" ;)

Love,
Rosebel

Murphy, good luck tomorrow, sweetie! My prayers are with you.

I'll be thinking about Murphy today while he is in surgery. I hope all goes well, and keep us updated!

Logan,

I'm so glad you got a second opinion and found a vet that you can trust. Please keep us posted on Murphy's condition and know that you and Murphy are in my thoughts and prayers.

Well, she's at Dr. Robinson's office now. The vet tech told me she would be there by 7:45 so I told her I would take Helen to school and bring Murphy on over after that. I got there at 8 and no one was there. Murphy and I walked around and around until someone finally got there at 8:50!! Murphy hasn't walked that much in a long, long time. :) Turns out the vet tech had called in sick, I guess. :rolleyes:

Murphy was actually frisky this morning and she danced and pranced for me in the kitchen, hoping I would break the rules and give her some breakfast. I did not, and she was quite put out with me!! LOL!!!!

I'm thinking positive thoughts, but I know I will be beside myself by the time I can call at 3. She will be operated on sometime between 11:30 and 2. I'll let you know when I know something.

Logan

Prayers going up for you and your family, Murphy! Waiting on pins and needles for the next report.

Murphy will be in my heart and mind all through the day. Prayers going out for this special girl. As far as her walk this morning, it was probably a very special and enjoyable treat for her. Actually a nice present to give her on a day such as this. I know you had other things to do (understatement), but this was a good thing.

Logan, I think Murphy is getting really attached to you! Nothing like another girl in the family! She was a bachelors dog for way too long. She needed a mommies loving touch and even though she was put out with you this morning, she was still grateful you were there!

I hope you are the first one she gets to see when you pick her up! She needs you during this difficult time! Please give her a hug from another mommy type person (me). I am in constant prayer on her behalf today!

Logan, I understand the waiting is terrible! My prayers go out this morning for Murphy that all will be well.

That is a very sweet thing for you to say, Candy. She is one special girl, and I have enjoyed having her with me these last 6-7 months. She spent most of the summer and fall with me when Scott was traveling, and even when he wasn't. It just didn't make sense for her to be at his house, alone, or boarded at the vet's office, when I could easily make room for one more. She is no trouble and has the best disposition. She is, what I think Lilly will be in her later years, just a docile, people loving dog. Exactly what we expect from our Retriever girls. In fact, she and Lilly are very much alike already, two couch potatoes!!! LOL!!!

I can't wait to see her precious face this afternoon. I am very anxious, as you can imagine.

Thank you everyone, once again, for your kind words. She is very deserving of them, I promise.

Logan

Logan,

Keeping Murphy in my thoughts & prayers today.:)

She is such a precious Labbie Lady. Liz & Moki.

Thinking of Murphy and you, and hoping that everything went well so she can keep on enjoying life with her mom, dad and sisters.

We're so anxious here, waiting to hear the news....I can't stop thinking of that beautiful Labbie girl. Please check in when you can Logan. We're thinking positive thoughts all the way. {{{hugs}}}
