Our darling little man had a sudden growth on his tiny skull and we were in the midst of moving and much upheavel and stress. It really grew fast and within a couple of days of finding and moving in to a new apartment, I took him in for the surgery. They couldn't get clean margins as his skull is so small so there are still cells in the skull itself. It is supposedly the slower growing type of osteo cancer (not the aggressive sarcoma) but they left a hole in his skull and today, two weeks after the surgery, he had two weird seizure type episodes. Cried and cried. Of course no one knows anything and we haven't money for anything more..had to borrow the $1800 for the surgery and they though it would completely cure him. But no. So we are devastated as he is only 11.5 years old and is so wonderful otherwise. Full of pep and joy and love. Please add him to your prayers and we will do the same! Thanks so much and best wishes to everyone on the list and their wonderous pets. Love to you all~

Sumter is 7 years old and yesterday the ver told us she suspects he has lymphoma. We are awaiting test results. When Sumter was two the vet told us she thought he had bone cancer. I put him on every prayer list I knew of. The specialist at UVA confirmed he DID NOT have cancer. To this day I believe that prayer saved my baby. He got accupuncture until the limping stopped. It has never returned. I need those prayers to work again for my boy. I lost his 13 year old sister last February by another form of cancer and his new sister two weeks before Christmas by a terrible tragedy! I need this boy to survive! He is my heart and brings me joy and unconditinal love everyday! Please remember him in your prayers!

We got our Buddy 6 years ago from an animal rescue shelter in New York just a few months after losing our beloved Murphy,that blessed us with his love and companionship for 16years. Now, at 6, our Buddy was diagnosed with 2 tumors on his lungs making his breathing difficult. He wants to get up and go, but physically can't. It is so very sad and heart wrenching to watch him just lie there, wishing to go for a hike, chase a woodchuck, swim in the pool and wag his tail and come to the door to greet us when 1 of us comes home.Buddy's going to go to a specialist to review the severity of his diagnosis..then we have to make that heartbreaking decision as to how to treat him. Please pray for us & Buddy.Guide us and help us make that right decision that will ease any pain he may be having and that he does not suffer. That he will forgive us and thank us for the decision that we make, as we their caregivers have to do. We pray for all of you facing similar situations with your pets and that you also will feel at peace with your decision. God bless our pets that love us unconditionally..and God bless us that love and treat our pets as family members

Molly is not quite ten years old. Today she has been diagnosed with cancer. I am devastated and cannot stop crying but she, as ever, seem happy, wagging her tail, looking up at me and licking my arm. She will have another operation next week, I don't want to think beyond this date. I pray she will be fine.

Our precious 2 yr. old boy was just dx'd last wednesday with lymphoma. His liver and sleen were more than double the normal size.
We believe that prayer changes things, so humbly we ask that you say a few words to God for Troy boy. We are praying for healing, but if he needs to be taken from us, our prayer would be that he doesn't suffer. We don't know yet what treatment plan we will use, so a prayer for guidance with that would be greatly appreciated.
Pictures of Troy and all of our Goldens can be seen on VictoryGoldens.com
We thank you so much...and please be assured that we will be praying for your babies too. In His Love, Michelle

Please pray that my girl Ella does not suffer.
With the type of cancer she has, I have decided to enjoy her and take her on lots of walks as she is able. I am going to pet her, love her, speak comforting words to her and then let her go. I could do surgery but I feel it will only reduce her quality of life and the tumor is growing rapidly. Please pray that I will know the right time to put her down if she does not go on her own. This is a very difficult decision but just telling other people has seemed to help tremendously.
Thank you! Blessings to all,
Warmly, Gayle

Please pray for Bandit. He is my wonderful 9 yr old blue heeler. I have very advanced Lupus SLE, and when I have problems, he even runs to get my husband if he is outside. He has even woken my husband up in the middle of the night because I was having a seizure in the bathroom. Bandit led him straight to me. He'll even start pushin on me if I am gettin unsteady on my steps an will guide me to a chair or push me up against the wall. He wasn't trained for any of this, that is the most amazing part. He just knows want to do. Me an Bandit have an amazing bond, and I don't ever wanna loose him. I wouldn't know what to do without him. I feel so bad because now I don't know what to do for him and yet he has always been right here for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers.
