Oh, Julie....I got tears in my eyes, looking at your beautiful "family", and seeing Hope, all perky and filled out. I am just thrilled for you and for Hope! Something tells me the surgery will go just fine for this precious "angel" girl.

Hey, I just realized, I have a REALLY good friend whose birthday is on Halloween...I tell her to add Hope to her list...maybe they have a connection! Gee Julie, I think I'm as excited as you are. I'm certain the surgery will go well too...she's had her share of heartache...it's her time.

[mugsy]

Hope girl!!! 2 more days and you'll be able to see!!!! Good luck and we'll be thinking about you. Julie, you are a godsend. Keep up the good work. Let us know what happens.

We are moving you into high gear in our prayers, precious Hope! We can't wait to hear that you can see your lovely Julie!

Well, its the final countdown and I am so nervous!!!! Hope has been on special eye drops and medication since last Friday in preparation for the surgery. I have been trying to get her used to the collar she has to wear after surgery so she cannot scratch her eyes and she does not like it at all! She just stands there and doesn't move. Hopefully she will be a little better by Wednesday. Keep thinking good thoughts and I will let all of you know on Wednesday how it went.

I, for one can't wait!! Those "E" collars are a pain in the butt, but they get used to them....kind of...when we had to get Billy's eye taken out, he was pretty amusing for awhile until he got used to it. The other dogs just treated it like a toy and chewed the snot out of it! Picture that one if you will! lol Good luck baby Hope!!! Prayers are headed your way!!! Hang in there Julie, just know we're all with you on this!

I have been following Hope's progress without making any comments but I have to congratulate you on wonderful she looks! It has to be very gratifying to have brought her so far. You are definitely her angel.

I have been a regular lurker (and sometimes poster) on both Blinddogs.com and a diabetic canine board at http://pub3.ezboard.com/fpetswithdia...aninediabetes. I've learned a lot from everyone there. Have you tried either?

I will be praying for Hope's surgery. Please keep us informed. Even if we don't post often, there are a lot of people who are wishing the best for you both.

I just went through the postings and read about your miracle baby and of all the love, compassion and HOPE you've put into this precious dog. You're an incredible person Julie and I, too, will be thinking about your darling Hope tomorrow. God Bless you for being the wonderful human being you are. Lots & Lots of HUGS!!!!!
Oh by the way I went back and looked at Hope when the postings first started because I was afraid to look before, but to see her now is amazing - what you've done for this poor lady is beyond comprehension. So wonderful - my heart is so full!!!

Our best wishes and prayers to you Julie and to Hope, the Wonder Dog! You've been through so much sweet girl. Just hang in there a bit longer. Such a bright and beautiful world awaits you! Love...

All my furkids and I also wish the very best on Hope's surgery tomorrow. Will they keep her overnight? Will she get too excited with the Trick-or-Treaters coming to the door? I do so hope/pray that all goes well for her. Any further information on the cancer? Do they think they got it all? I'll be here tomorrow evening with bells on, waiting to hear good news. You go, girl!

DOGRESQ,

Hope & Julie, just wanted to let you know
that you are in my prayers tonight!!!

I do believe in miracles!!!

Love & Positive Thoughts to you both tonight !!! Liz & Buddy.

[Daisy's Mom]

Good luck tomorrow, Hope! If there is any dog out there strong enough to oull through, it's you! Take good care of her Julie. God bless both of you!

[JAQ]

Thanks again for all of your support, kind thoughts and prayers!!! I took a 1/2 day off work tomorrow so I will be able to be with her after surgery. It will be nice and quiet for her where we live. We don't get trick or treaters up here.
Mary, thank you for the info on the web sites! As for Hope's cancer there has been no signs of any recurrence. So hopefully the eye surgery is Hope's last obstacle and she can have a normal life!!! Probably won't get much sleep tonight. The anticipation is overwhelming!!! Talk to all of you tomorrow!

[Sudilar]

Oh, Hope, we will be praying very hard for you tomorrow. I pray that all will go well and you'll get better fast!! Good luck!!! (to you too, Julie!)
