Raven's cancer *Final recheck, pg 38 (post 568)*

Oh Jess, I'm so sorry. Please try not to worry, though I know it's nearly impossible. I hope it's nothing. I know how much she means to you. My stomach feels a little sick, too. I hope it's nothing serious. Please keep us updated.

I'm sorry I missed this Jess. I am sending healing vibes and lots of prayers and love for you and Raven...

Healing vibes for Raven!

[Vela]

Ugh, I'm sorry I didn't see this until today, I wasn't at my comptuer yesterday. Know that you are both in my prayers that's it nothing serious and they can fix it easily. Hugs to you both. I know how worried you are but hopefully it will all be nothing serious. I'm here if you need me.

Good thoughts and vibes being sent to you and Raven. I hope its nothing incredibly serious!

Gosh that looks so sore Have you had any word from your vet? The poor girl - it can't be comfortable for her - what a trooper.

I certainly hope this is something that can be treated or will heal on its own. Thoughts and prayers for you and for dear Raven.

Hugs,
Betty

Just seeing this now, Jess. It is really noticeable, I can understand why you would be upset. I am glad to hear that at least it doesn't seem to be effecting her ability or desire to play. I really hope it is nothing serious.

On April 20, 2007, Raven went in for the surgery that would be the difference between life and death for her. The next day when she came home after the surgery, the focus became watching and waiting to see if it would succeed in being curative, or if the cancer would come back. At first it was day by day, then week by week and soon month by month. Now she has reached the landmark where there is no more tracking of time, but just years of love and living ahead in the celebration of life, something she has taught me to do in a way I never did before. She is an inspiration and brings joy to my life in so many ways, and not a day goes by, a single one, when I do not remember how so many of you were along this journey with us, your prayers and support and help a miracle in itself.

I thought I would share some new photos of her here, and a simple video I made that just shows how happy she is all the time.

Now this is what brings joy to my heart - and can you just feel the love?

Happy Anniversary Raven - you are beyond beautiful!

[RobiLee]

Nothing beats a happy ending! Love that girl. She is so pretty. I loved the video and the music was so fitting. I have to say she looks beautiful in that new collar too. She is so bouncy in the video. She makes me think of Tori. I know I told you that Raven and Tori would probably have a blast together but the more I think about it and after having Sammi here it is Sammi and Raven that would have a blast. They seem to have the same kind of energy and sweetness. Please give our little miracle girl a big hug from me.

Love ya, Raven!

I'm so happy she's so happy!
big hugs to you both!

"I'M A BELIEVER" TOO! (The song was just perfect!)
Happy Anniversary Raven & family! Thanks for sharing the JOY!

[dukedogsmom]

What a wonderful entry! Brings tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. I can't watch the video here at work because it's blocked but I'll be sure to see it on my days off. She is such a happy, beautiful dog. I'm glad she's given you so much joy.
