My precious big boy Mako was diagnosed with lymphoma on Thursday. We just went down hill really fast. He has a brother the same age, only 7, and I can not imagine them apart and not apart from me either. I am really going to miss him and it is not fair for these precious creatures to get these diseases! He is still waggin his tail and gives us all a big smile! It is just breaking my heart!! I want this nightmare to go away!! Please just pray for him as I will pray for all these loving companions!! I love you so much Mako!!! I can't imagine things without you!! I'm gonna cry, again!! Thank you everybody for your prayers!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!

Please pray for Gabriel, a dog who has truly lived up to his name his entire life. He is the sweetest, most kind and gentle little soul you could imagine. He has been battling this cancer since last August and, particularly since March he has suffered a great deal. But he remains so bright and loving of spirit and so wants to live. The last 3 weeks he had been doing so well, his doctors were thrilled and optimistic. But just 2 days ago they told me the cancer had come back in his leg with a vengeance. I have had Gabriel since he was 8 weeks old and we have always been so close. I love him so much, and he has clearly shown even his vets that he does not want to leave me. I lost my mother just a few months ago and Gabriel has helped me bear the almost unbearable. It's unthinkable to lose him, too. Thank you for praying for Gabriel.

Please pray for Duffy....we are "stupid" in love with our little handsome boy. He is 12+ years old and this past Saturday he had a seizure. We went immediately to the vet, we walked through the door and he seized again. Blood work was taken to try to determine the cause.Results will be in on Tuesday so we wait. He told us to take him home and try to keep him calm. To keep track of any additional seizures. He seized twice on Sunday, and has already seized once today. Our vet has warned us that the likely cause is a brain tumor given his age. Our hearts are breaking we are beside ourselves....thank you for your prayers....

Yesterday, May 29, 2011 I found out that my Boxer has MCTand it appears to be attached to his liver. I was given three options, the first ultra sound to see if it has spread, the second surgery right away but if it has spread he would not return from surgery and the last put him down. I decided on the first so if it has spread maybe I can make him comfortable and try another approach. I love Tye dearly and will do whatever is necessary to save him. I have prayed and asked for mercy. I Love My "Tye Tye". My heart is broken.

Lung (waiting for actual diagnosis)

Two days ago, I took my precious girl to the vet b/c she just wasn't herself and she seemed to have a wheeze and a cough. She has never been sick the entire 9 yrs of her life. She's always full of energy and will fetch a ball for as many hours as you can throw one. The vet and I were thinking possible pneumonia. It's been a shock to see plural effusion and a large mass in the lower right lobe of her lung. Our vet aspirated 9 fine needle samples. He then asperated the fluid under her lung. The good news is Lacey may be more comfortable with less fluid. The really scary and heartbreaking news is it's a primary tumor and the was considerable blood aspirated in the plural fluid. Lacey is my constant companion. Her sole (soul) job has been to make sure I'm alright. This is such a shock. I've always believed in the power of collective prayer. Right now, I'm praying for a miracle.

Please pray for my dearest Chloe. She has been with me for 7 and 1/2 years and was diagnosed in January of this year with lymphoma. She is such a sweetheart and my best friend. She has been a trooper throughout her chemotherapy, and had a setback this week. She came out of remission and had lymphoma in her lungs. They drained fluid off of the lungs, gave her more chemo and now I pray and watch over her night and day. God bless these sweet creatures that God gave to all of us to share our lives while here on earth.

Dallas had a lump (a andenocarcinoma) removed last October. She had 2 more lumps (one adenocarcinoma and one adenoma) removed last week. We saw a vet oncologist at the state U vet school and she recommends a more complete mastectomy. I rescued her from poor conditions on a farm two years ago in the middle of winter. She was a former breeding dog at a backyard breeders. Dallas is 10ish y/o.
Thank You for you prayers and positivity!!!!!!

My 5 year old bullmastiff was diagnosed yesterday with Lymphoma around his heart, it was a complete shock as he has always been the pillar of health. The tumor only took about a month to form, and he went from a vibrant happy dog to a sad under weight dog in a matter of weeks. He is currently on Chemo, and seems to be doing a bit better already. I'm not going to give up hope that he will be with me for years to come. He is my best friend, and I know he isn't ready to leave just yet, and I am certainly not ready to have him go. I've taken him off of dog food and am preparing his food myself along with adding supplements to his diet and lots of love. I'm sorry for anyone that gets a cancer diagnoses for their dog, it just doesn't seem fair. I wish everyone the best, and send positive thoughts to all the families and animals on this prayer list.

Anna, the sweetest girl, was today diagnosed with late stage Lymphoma. She has been our precious companion for the last 12 years. My two sons have grown up with her. Our hearts are breaking.
Two vets have given us the same diagnosis and both have told us that even with all the best chemo she would have only a few months at best.
Please pray for her. We do not want this to be a painful ending for her life here. Every minute with her is precious and we are doing everything we can to make the most of them.
Thank you so much for your prayers for Anna. I am very grateful.
