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

[slick]

You know, I was sitting at my desk eating lunch today and thinking about you Jess and precious Raven. I started crying into my salad and just when I wiped away the tears a coworker came in. When asked what was the matter, I just said, I'm OK. How can I possibly explain that "I'm hurting for someone whom I've never met and lives miles away who has her precious pet in for sir jury and I've never met the pet either and I only know them from a website called Pet Talk"..... It just wouldn't fly and that's why I've never told anyone around me about PT.

In my tenure here at Pet Talk, I've come to care very deeply for the people and their pets and here I am crying again.......for someone and her pet that I've never met.

What a community we have here!!!

My cheque was mailed today Jess.

I'm glad Raven made it through the surgery ok. I hope she will recover fine and this will all be over for good. We love you Raven!

I'm glad to hear that Raven's surgery went well and she'll continue to remain in my thoughts and prayers. I sure hope that the cancer will never return and that she'll live a long happy and healthy life.

That's terrific news! I certainly hope the cancer is gone forever! The power of PT is just heartwarming sometimes

The spirit of PT summed up in one post!

Seriously...
When telling my co-workers about stuff like this (the new ones, my a few of me old co-workers would have completely understood and asked me about Raven everyday!) I would get weird looks. It seems only PT people are special enough to care so much.

How's Raven (and you) doing today? Prayers your way.

We are a truly unique group of people here!

If you're not a part of it... don't even try to understand us, because you never will. It's almost like our own secret club!

I've shed many, many tears for PT members & pets and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Jess, I'm so glad her surgery went well yesterday! I pray her cancer doesn't come back. Or like Brody's Mum said:
"Raven's cancer won't dare return with us lot to answer to!! "

I'll be waiting for your update this morning after your 9:30 call!!!

[Daisy and Delilah]

What Slick said is so true. The emotion we feel for pets and people we've never even met, tells us something about ourselves. We really have a great group of people here.

Still thinking about you all Jess. I'll check back after coming home from work later this evening. I hope it's a joyful reunion for Raven, Mom, and the T's!! Please give that sweet Raven some kisses from me to welcome her home and some more kisses for those beautiful T's.

[K9soul]

I'm going to get her now

If anyone hasn't checked the donation page, the amount donated has had me in tears several times, the total is $876.11. Because everyone here was so generous, Raven's life didn't have to come down to money or time to raise it. I truly feel blessed to "know" such a group of people. You are right, most just don't understand. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for doing what you've done for them.

[Kfamr]

Woooohoo! Raven's coming home. I bet you two will both be thrilled to see eachother.

I have a pet-friendly team at work - between 9 nurses, we have 7 dogs, 12 cats, a bunny, birds and fish. I have told Raven's story to them, and asked that they pray; I've just started by saying "I have a friend whose dog has cancer in her mouth..." How could I explain to these people I work with every day, that this is someone I know only from a pet Web site? I didn't even try.

Welcome home, beautiful Raven! I have been thinking about you all day and I thought I would check in tonight for the latest update. I liked the photo of Tash, Tommy and Raven resting on the bed. You all take good care. I hope the recheck on Friday brings a good report. [[hugs]]
