i have had Osa since she was a baby. She was 3 when I became Disabled. After my long stay in bed, and I could start moving a little, she would follow me every where. Soon she would predict my muscle spasms and my migraines! When I would fall she would come to me and stiffen her back for me to use for balance to help me get back up on my feet. The only thing I had to teach her was to pick things up for me when I dropped them. Even a credit card to a small piece of paper! Osa is my whole life, she is only 8 years old, I refuse to put her thru any painful Chemo and operation is not an option for her. We did not find it in time. May the Great Spirit be kind on her & let her remaining time be happy, playful, grateful & pain-free! I love you, Osa with all my heart. Thank you for all the years of love happiness and service you have brought to me! Spirit Free

We lost our 12 1/2 yr old Rufus 5 weeks ago suddenly. He was a very happy dog who was never sick. Unfortunately w/in 5 days our dog was gone. We got the autopsy back today & found out he had cancer. I am thankful for the closure, but also very sad that there were no signs until his final days. Rufus has been with us since he was 7 wks old..We loved him very much, & he will truly be missed..

We got Baby our rat terrier when she was 3 weeks old. I had to bottle feed her. She was as much as part of our family as our own kids. For over 14 years she brought laughter. Over the memorial day weekend, she was having trouble breathing. She was taken to the vet on Saturday 28, 2011. X-Rays were taken her lungs were full of cancer. We made the decision to have her put to sleep. I loved her and didnot want to let her go. I also could not let her suffer so my son went into our vet's while they put her to sleep and buried her beside our other pets that we have lost. She will be forever loved and missed.

Max has been with us for 7 years. He has been faithful, loving, loyal and my best friend. He has been DX and is still suffering bleeding bouts etc. We have no idea how much time he has, but my prayer is to have him not suffer, and above all, understand how much he is loved. Please place him on your prayer/healing list. He has gone from 200 lb to 144 and looks so sad it makes me crazy. I don't think I can do without him.

My precious Toby has just been diagnosed with aggressive ostesarcoma in his right foreleg. He had been limping for a couple of months and I thought it was arthritis due to his age. So this is a terrible shock. Toby still has a good appetitie and seems happy enough except for missing out on his long walks through the bush that we enjoyed together. Toby is such a sweet and placid boy and my faithful companion since he was 8 weeks old; now just turned 12 yrs. I love Toby so much and pray fervently that we both have the strength and courage to go on this healing journey together. Prayers for all the precious animals in this register.

Blessings to all of you who are walking the journey of cancer with your canines. My 8 year old Riley was just diagnosed with Lymphoma 2 days ago. For the last 2 years he has been battling a disease called Bartonella. He has gone through so much & yet he still wags his tail. In the last few days, his eye sight has become a problem. Tomorrow, we go to the oncologist for his first visit. May God help us help our babies!
