GREAT NEWS!!!!! According to the eye specialist Hope's retina's are "perfect"! We will start preparing her for surgery the end of this week with special medication and eye drops and she will have surgery on Oct. 31. The eye specialist is also going to be putting a special lens on one of her eyes to improve her sight even more and at no charge! I am so excited I can hardly stand it! Thanks again for all of your prayers and positive thought for Hope!! It has helped us both more that you will ever know!!

I almost hesitate to check this topic for fear of more bad news. What a joy to see that things are turning in Hope's favor. Maybe this is a sign of more good things to come.

I had to go back to edit because after I posted I saw your website. Hope is looking MARVELOUS. What a difference your love and care has made and the whole bunch of furkids are quite a family. Thanks for sharing them with us.

DOGRESQ, you are a miracle worker!! I looked, like, three times at Hope's picture on your website and couldn't believe my eyes. She's gorgeous ! What a beautiful sleek coat and a jaunty expression!

I'll be thinking of her having surgery on Halloween and wishing her luck! She deserves it, God knows.

Pet Talk people just love pictures and I'm no exception! Thanks for sharing your gang with us. Hope is even more beautiful than I imagined her to be now. What a transformation!

WOW!
It doesn't even look like the same dog!

Amazing what a little love and kindness will do!

Thank you dogresq! All your furbabies look great!

What a great family you have. Wait a minute, what's what I see on Hope? My goodness, it's a belly!!!! You actually have some weight!!! You're looking great, girl. Julie's work has definitely been paying off!!! Hope, I can't wait until the day I read the post that says that you have finally been able to see that Angel who has helped you so much!!! I'll be praying for a good outcome to your surgery!!!

I have not been keeping up with this post, but it's not because I don't care...because I DO, very much! I found it hard to look at the original picture of Hope. I have never seen such extreme starvation and it hurt to see it. I looked at your new pictures and I honestly had to go back to the original picture to see if it truly was the same dog....amazing. Thank you so much for being an angel to that beautiful dog. Looking at that lovely girl *who was smiling* was a treat.

I will be thinking about you on Halloween, Hope, and I hope everything continues to get better and better

With love,

Leslie & Graham

Your fur family is so beautiful! Wow, look at Hope! She looks so much better than she did when Sue first posted her picture. Keep up the good work!

Julie, I had to do a double, triple take! I couldn't believe that was the Hope we met not so long ago!! She looks beautiful; there is peace in her eyes! Eyes that will hopefully soon see even more clearly the beauty of the world, and her MAGNIFICENT saviour and friend. Can't you feel those wing buds sprouting!!

Glad all of you have enjoyed the pictures and I too, myself, look at Hope and cannot believe she is the same dog! She now weighs 53 pounds! She was at 27 pounds at her lowest weight. I am counting down the days until her eye surgery and I am getting very anxious! Only 8 more days!!!!
