    Prayers for JJ

    My dad just informed me that his dog, J.J. (11 yr old Jack Russell) was just diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer. He has a huge lump underneath his eye, that is to be removed next week. The docs do not think they will be able to remove all of the cancer & even if they can, J.J. will probably lose his eye. Without the surgery he has been given 4 to 12 months to live. The vet told my dad to be prepared for the worse case scenario. My dad and step-mom are devastated. They know that this is probably the end, but they love him so much. Please pray for J.J., and for my dad & step-mom. I know that they need all the good thoughts and prayers they can get right now.

    Prayers on the way, from RI, for JJ and his family.

    It really is amazing what medicine can do for our pets, so I hope they can find a way to help JJ.

    Have your folks get a referral to a doggy oncologist. Chemotherapy is often effective against a variety of cancers, and side effects are often minimal to none with supportive drugs. It might be possible to extend the dog's life by a couple of years with treatment- depending on the type of cancer involved. Where the goal is a high quality of life. Again find a canine oncologist to discuss the various options. Deciding on a treatment may or may not involve financial cost considerations.

    So very sorry to hear about JJ. I hope he beats the odds that the doctors gave him. Give him some love from me.

    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.
    [/SIZE]



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