It's so good to hear Ravens checkup went well! I hope the pills and time will help with her anxiety.

Another stunning pic! She's just glowing with happiness. I'm so glad everything is progressing nicely.
And, I feel I'm sort of an expert on separation anxiety now after all I've been through with Dasher. Pm me and I'll tell you how I handle it. He's not been on any meds in months and he's totally changed now. He used to get between my legs while I was putting on my shoes. Now, he just lays on my bed. Things will get better. Your anxiety was a perfectly normal reaction to all of this.

I did the right thing by setting you free
But the pain is very deep.
If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
I miss you
I hear you whimper in your sleep
I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.
Fur as dark as the night.
Join me on this flight.
Paws of love that follow me.
In my heart you'll forever be.

How I wish I could hold you near.
Turn back time to make it so.
Hug you close and never let go.

That smile of her just brightens anyone's day, doesn't it?
A lot of shelter dogs have S.A.... usually with time it goes away. Atleast it did with Simba and Nala. They couldn't care less if they are left at home.

Raven God Bless You, he sure answered alot of prayers that is for sure. You look more and more beautiful, such a wonderful smile, it just melts my heart!!!! Try not to worry to much about the anxiety, whether shelter dog or not has nothing to do with it, its from the trauma she went through, she will come out of it, with the love and the way you work with her, she will go back to normal once she knows everything is really okay.
Give her a very big hug.
Raven is looking wonderful!! I hope she can overcome her seperation anxiety soon. *HUGS*

Oh Raven - you beautiful, happy, smiling, kissy dog you!!!
I guess its only natural for you to be a bit anxious after all you've been through sweetheart.
When I leave my two I set them "tasks" like hiding treats for them to find - that way me leaving them turns into a fun thing and most of the time they don't even notice I've gone I also leave a radio on.

Glad to hear the surgery apparently got the nasty cells out.
If leaving for a few hours, I give mine rawhide chips to munch on. Usually their stomachs over rule their separation anxieties. For the most part all I have to say is "pen-pen" to mine, and they run into their pen- waiting for their treats.
You could try something similar to car training for the separation anxiety. Pretend that you are leaving. Exit out of the house for 20 seconds and then come back in and let puppy out of the kennel. Repeat a couple times a day. Then extend the length of departure to 1 min, 5 mins etc. If nothing else you get to visit the neighbors a lot.
How is Ms. Raven these days?? I keep looking for pics and updates. She's such a gorgeous girl!
Really, how are things lately? She sure looks like she's doing wonderful in her pictures.

Sorry I have not updated in awhile! Raven has been doing wonderfully, and she had her final recheck yesterday. She's been given the official all clear.. no more rechecks scheduled. Of course by now I felt we were going to be just fine, but it was another milestone to get the official word from Dr. Nielson. He hugged her and told her she was such a good baby and told her he loved her. She loves him too, gave him all kinds of kisses and wags . I made a thread with some pictures of her I took this morning here:

and a couple I didn't post there.

Thank you all again, so very very much. You were all right along with me as we went through this roller coaster of fear and hope. I will always remember.

There's that pretty girl. Go Raven.

Thank god Raven is OK! she's so gorgeous!
I'm so glad that Raven has come through this with flying colours. Of course, why wouldn't she with all those PT prayers flying all over the world. Please plant a big kiss on her forehead from me....from one cancer survivor to another!!!
Hey Rav, can I borrow your T-shirt??????

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
