Starting the journey with Canine Cancer

Demi has crossed the rainbow bridge....

For those that followed ..Demi fought a battle with Cancer, adenocarcinoma, mammery to be exact,a dreaded disease, as best she could. In the end the pain grew too great and I realeased my precious baby from her pain....
Demi passed this afternoon ( October 2, 2006) at 2:06 eastern time. I was with her and held her , told her I loved her more than she would ever know and that I pray she go to a better place.
I am suffering so very much ..I feel as though my heart has been broken ...it is hard to describe the depth of the pain...she was my sweetheart who met my every rise each day , as I , in turn, tucked her into her little bed next to mine. I pray and pray that my hurt will ease and god will show me I did what in his eyes was true to my devotion...My husband who came with me today...all I keep asking him was " did she look like she was afraid?" I did not see it but that is my secret fear for her..I want her to know I did what I did with all of my soul..all of it..

She looked so incredibly peaceful afterwards..I just held her and kissed her and told her I would see her again someday....::::sigh:::
Her Step brothers Coco & Ranger are sad and quiet,,,,

Happy Sunday all :)

Well here we are halfway through the month! Her updated picture was from today! As you can see she is quite "fetching" for an older lady with 'medical issues'.
Since last time , we have seen a Holistic Vet named Dr Allen...She is on several homeopathic treatments....as further surgery and conventional treatments will be of no use...We get in as many car rides and belly rubs in a week as we can as she loves it!
Per Ms. Demi: " Mom spends way too much time worrying about me....I try to assure her I feel pretty good but she insists on hovering....those mom's, REALLY!!!!!...Anyway hello to all my pup pals and Catch me on my website:

Til then , Demi ( and 'mom')

Sunday silliness~

Hello all...
Well since last entry she finally had her bath ! Let me tell you it was quite an improvement. Her incision scar is there but amazingly light in color...
In the midst of this she went into heat , which seems even worse than the last one. The vet did not feel that spaying her would matter at this point, and to have done that at the time of the tumor removal would have made for a much greater risk of post surgical problems, so that was nixed.
So here we are with the whining and crying ( heat) and she is just about driving me crazy...
I forget that she is "ill" as she shows no outward signs! I am going to change her food to Innova Evo...no carb ( grains etc) it is supposed to starve cancer cells in effect. I am hoping she likes it . I have been mixing her duck and potato with cooked chicken breast..she LOVES that.
And , on a happy note, she has been taking car rides whenever the opportunity arises... :)
Til then...Barbara & Princess Demi, At home while mom works today ...
