Killian, you are our hero, you have been through so much but have been a wonderful pup just doing what they tell you to do., taking it one day at a time. We think of you often and wonder how you are doing and glad you are still doing well. Hope your Mom will give you a hug from Daisy, Perry and me.

Time to crank up the Prayer generator machine for our boy Killian. Sue has just reported on the another thread that Killian isn't eating very well and is loosing some weight .

Dad gotz an idea .
Look on this site, bout 4 screens down fromma top, at the section called "The Monday Pet Loss Candle Ceremony". Link to: http://www.petloss.com/.
How'z about we Pet Talkers all join up wiffa Pet Loss folks an light sum candle stikz for not only our Critterz that have gone to wait at the Rainbow Bridge; but also for our Sickies that need sum Prayers and Get Better Wishes?

Iffin we all joined in it wuld make a lot bigger Warm Glow all ober the wurld ~ Gotta help make the Sickies feel better .

Dad sez ebberbuddie gotz ta be REEL Careful wiffa candle stikz - don't want nunbuddie ta be setting the house ranchez on fire . Dad asks that allua "younger folks" be sure ta have a Mom or Dad helpin set the stikz alight. Might even be a good idea to get a lektrik candle to put inna front window stead of a burning candle.

Whadda you all think?

Cinder and Smokey-Boy, that is a great idea!! We'll do it!!

Thanks, everyone. We need a little of your prayers again. With all that was going on, I wasn't going to bother you all with my worries, but I need all the prayers we can get again. I do know that one day Killi will succumb to this disease, but that should not be for a while yet. I'm hoping that this is not the time. I don't think it is because his mouth is also acting up and I'm hoping the appetite loss is due to this. However, there is not much we can do because the treatment for his mouth can affect his liver. BUT, I am going to request a referral to a mouth Specialist to see if there is anything we can do anyway.

It really hit hard yesterday when the little girl across the street said, "How come Killian isn't big anymore? Why is he so little?" I told her about the disease. Then she said, "When he gets well, will he be big again like he was?" It hurt to tell her that he will never be "big" again like he was. It is such a battle just to keep the weight he has left on him. Sometimes when he won't eat, I get so upset that I yell out at him in extreme desperation to "Go ahead, don't eat, you're gonna die!!!" Then I break down.
I'm even trying to get him to eat things he should avoid because of his liver. At this point anything is better than nothing.

So sorry to trouble you with this, but I just had to get it off my mind and now I feel better saying it. Now I can go on and fight the battle that eventually can't be won, but we will hold it off for as long as we can.

Thanks, Sue

Sue,
It just breaks my heart to hear that Killian
is not doing well...
The way you spoke of your feelings of anger
and helplessness at this latest turn of events makes me want to just beg heaven to
help You & Killian !!!
Please know that Bud & I think of you guys
often and will pray even harder for you both.
Liz.

Oh Sue, I feel so bad I don't even know what to say except you and Killi are so brave and you are fighting the battle with all your might. If there was anything I could give you or anything I could do for you I would do it in a second. The only thing I can do is pray for you and send the most positive thoughts to you both. Killi is one of ours and it breaks our hearts to see him like that, we all love him so much, please give our brave boy hugs and kisses from all of us.

[Daisy's Mom]

Oh Killian, you have to start eating again!! I will pray that you gain some wieght. We love you sweetie!

Sue I know how you feel when you talked to that little girl. Little kids always ask why my dad doesn't talk anymore and we have to explain about his disease. Sometimes they ask when he will talk again... it really hurts. Keep your chin up!

[Albea]

Cinder, Smoke. and Dad:
Thank you for that link. We will lit a candle, very carefully, for our ailing furry friends, and in remembrance of the ones waiting at Rainbow Bridge.
Killian dear, hope this will help you recover very soon. We love you and send you many get well wishes with hugs and kisses.

[KYS]

Sue,
I am so sorry to hear he has taken
a turn for the worse.
I will add Killian to my prayers.

Group hug/prayer from Sheba, Rocky and Pepper too.

Thank you so much everyone. It means so much to me.

Sue, I only just read this. You and Killian are in my thoughts. I wish I had a magic formula to convince him to eat a bit more. Hugs to all.

[Stenograsaurus]

Killian, I am so sorry to hear of your setback. Keep eating, Buddy. I'm sending you a hug and a kiss and lots of prayers.
Sue, my prayers are with you too. I'm so glad you're doing all you can for Killian. A lot of people wouldn't bother going the extra mile. They'd just end it with one trip to the Vet. Keep fighting, both of you.
