My 7 Yrs old has cancer

[Rocky's-Mom]

We couldn't make it without the love of boxer support

I'm having one of those really down, sad evenings....I came home and Rocky was all wiggles to see...I let him out and he went out and back in on three legs...just simply broke my heart to see him getting worse. He ate a roast beef sandwich...he loves them and then layed back down...I was watching him breath and I can see he is getting weaker and so am I. I have done nothing but cry since I have been home...I can't bear the thought of losing another baby so soon....God only knows and you girls how much I love them. I know I will make it but it is so hard. I go to bed early because I know how much he loves that...I rubbed on him half the night and just layed there smelling his boxer scent...I really think I am cracking up. I put the tv on mute so I can monitor his breathing....he is so precious...I love him so much....I give all of you so much for being here and supporting me...knowing how you are hurting also.............prayers to all Rocky & Mom

For Rocky's Mom

You are not going crazy. I could barely sleep at nite. Heidi used to sleep downstairs and when the house was really quiet I would listen for her breathing and snoring. When she was still getting around I would listen for when my older son would take her for a walk in the morning. I would listen for the jingle of her collar and know she was ok. I so miss that sound in the morning. You stay strong --- but like I said, you can't hold in those feelings. I think that is worse. You can't not help but feel so sad when you love him so much. We are all thinking of you ---

I have been reading all of this and I wish I could have a tin of magic dust. I would sprinkle it on all that are going through this. I am think about you and sending peace your way.

Hoping for an up weekend

for you guys . You know by reading my thread how I know it helps to share what you are feeling-so keep on. Everyone here knows of the special love only a Boxer can generate. You're not cracking up-the snores I used to wake Kiddo up to stop now bring huge smiles to my face and actually help me relax...its the other breathing that makes me reach over to check on her.Take care

Let it snow....Rocky & Mom are at home today!

Last night was our worse night...Rocky couldn't get comfortable...laid most on me...you can tell his breathing is much harder and then he just started jerking continually even with me calling his name and trying to wake him up almost like he was having a sieisure (spelling wrong) I really thought it was the end we were up and down all night. He has a bed in the living room so I layed on the couch and I looked and he was just laying on the carpet so I took him back to bed and he strated to jump down and I feel out of bed...it's almost a circus around here. I got up this am and he just layed in bed which is not normal and I woke him up and he got up had breakfast and we are getting snow today so I stayed home and put his bed in front of the sliding door and he is watching the snow fall and sleeping. It's been a month today since they diagnosis the cancer. Wanda he loves that oatmeal....he is soooooooooo double spoiled. I told him last night you know Rocky I love you and he looked at me like you think I don't know that... Prayers to all and thanks for all your wonderful support....Rocky & Mom

Just wanted to post saying that you and Rocky are in my prayers. Stay strong and cherish every minute with him. Give him a hug and extra lovins (is that even possible...) tonight. Just remeber when the time comes he will be at peace and waiting for you knowing you loved him more than anything. Smile.

Just a quick questions. Rocky is eating but rarely drinks any water. He was a big water drinker before the cancer....anyone know what might be going on?Just my mind in over time. Thanks...Vicky

What's his output like? Is he on any meds?My two girls have always been completely different on the h2o issue even before the cancer.....if there has been a drastic change,I would give the vet a call. There may be a simple UTI starting. How is everything else going?

Yesterday I kept saying Rocky drink some water for mom and he did get thirst and drink. He is putting no weight on his bad leg at all...it is really getting much bigger but besides knowing he has a hard time getting comfortable...he seems fine...eating, wiggles and very alert went crazy yesterday wanting out he saw a big white cat in the yard next door. Hope you are having a good weekend. Did you get snow? Hang in there....you're always only a thought away...Rocky & Mom
