Vicky, you are *always* in our prayers!!
Enjoy those moments when you "forget he has cancer"! Ginger had lots of those days! She wanted to PLAY all the time, so we did... limited, of course. But geez, she amazed me... Just like Rocky, I would never have thought she was sick. She was a BALL DOG!!!

She would do absolutely ANYTHING to get you to throw a ball for her. She loved it! She was the one that would chase it at 100 mph, come to a screeching halt to grab it, and run back proudly... she'd drop it at my feet and say "do it again!, do it again!" !! She would not stop until she couldn't run any longer! (That's my girl!!!

) So when she got sick, I'd only throw her ball a few feet, so she could only trot after it. And that was good enough!
In all honesty, Ginger never showed signs of "being sick" until her last 24 hours. I watched her tumor grow too... and it killed me to see it... but we made it through it... playing ball most of the time. So keep doing what you are doing! And stay strong!
With our love and hearts and HUGS!
