Need Help/Information on Brain Tumors and Strokes

[Mama_Zookeeper]

Aimee,
I really don't know how you do it. I feel as though some days I can't deal anymore with things after going through the loss of my brother last year. Believe it or not it is my pups who really keep me sane. My family supports me and helps truly...I know they love me. But it is Rocky who lets me cry on his shoulder or rant & rave like a sailor when I am frustrated over Steve being gone...he listens to me say nonsense things. I know he is so young, but I am well aware of the limited time we have with our babies. Mr. B is lucky to have you, and you are so very lucky to have him as well. Be strong guys, you are always on my mind.

OK, enough mushy stuff, I want to hear about the bedtime feet fights! I am sure Mr. B has a lot of puppy like spunk left in him!

Angelfeather, I am sorry for your loss. I will say a prayer for your family & Pandora.

Dora

Angel,
I, too, am so sorry about Pandora. These special creatures bring so much love into our lives that the pain we feel when we lose one is just unbearable. But you are right, she was telling you it was time and I personally know what a great amount of courage and strength it takes to make the decision your were forced to make...but it is also the greatest act of love you could show her, please try to remember that....Pandora will certainly always remember it. You chose to bear the suffering so she would not have too and love doesn't get any greater than that. May God bless you all. djk

Dora,

I am so sorry for the loss of your brother. Not having dealt with the loss of a sibling, I cannot even begin to imagine the grief. I will pray for continued strength for you, hang in there. You have been such a support factor for me, if ever I can be of help or support to you, please do not hesitate to call on me. I truely would love to return the favor.

Now for the feet fights :D The past couple of months, Baxter has started this moaning and pawing thing when I pet him. It's really very cute. He moans when I talk to him and pet him and he'll get especially loud if you get him in one of his sweet spots. As soon as I stop petting him, he will paw and paw and paw trying to find me as if to say do it again mommy. This too is cute. Well, the past few days Baxter has woken me up by pawing at me. I wake up and cuddle him but then he starts the moaning thing. We love and love and love and then I roll back over, he pauses for a second and then paws again. This time I wrestle around with him all the while he is moaning and pawing me and nudging me with his muzzle. I give him lots of kisses and I roll back over but again after a short pause, the moans and the paws are at it again. He is such a silly goof! But like Debbie says, it's these moments that keep me hanging on tight.

Angel I'm so sorry for your loss of Pandora. Please accept our deepest condolences.

Thank you again for all of your thoughts and prayers. I am hoping it gets a little easier to bear as each day goes by.
This morning I let the "kids" out to pee (we have five acres for them to romp) and as usual when they returned they get a treat. I automatically reached in the cookie bin and grabbed 3 bisquits. I turned and gave one to Bailey, one to Monkey (aka Alaska) and then sat there with the 3rd one in my hand and just broke into tears.
I called a few clients (Im a Realtor) and told them I was just not going to be available today. I have decided to take the day off and paint. Im going to paint for Pandora, let her memory inspire me.
So Im off the the store to get a nice big canvas. Thanks again really for letting me share her story it really does help.

Angel,

I am very sorry for the loss of your sweet Pandora. As has been said, please take some comfort in knowing that you gave her the ultimate gift of love and that she is running pain-free and whole again at the bridge, and my god, she is in such wonderful company. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Angel,

I am so sorry about Pandora. I know that your heart is breaking. Your story brought me to tears. We love these creatures so much. When they leave us it is so hard. She is free from pain now. That is very comforting to know. I pray that you remember the happy times.

how is he doing?

hi,
been thinking of you for days and keep checking for updates. I just want to make sure that Baxter is ok!!! My woody is going through a similar situation, although it only started 2 weeks ago... Prednisolone is working wonders because we have not seen any seisures since the original day.. vets are saying it is stabilising his brain tumor... I understand how hard it must be for you... as with many of us.. we are going through similar situations.. i just wanted to let you know that i am thinking of you and woody says 'woof' to baxter and all your other babies..
so sorry about your situation.. we need to stick together in times like these and help eachother out... wishing you all the best.. please post a reply soon!!! getting worried!!
Love
Trish & woody x x

Lucky Lucky Me!!

Lucky Lucky ME!! I got Baxter lovin's over the weekend!!! I have always said that Mr. B is our hero and he always will be. He is such a trooper...to have been though so much in his life yet completely unable to even think of harboring some sort of grudge or bitterness! He is just so sweet and loving. Such a good natured fellow...I don't know how he does it.

I had not seen him since November, so this time around I could see a difference somewhat...but no where near what I was afraid of. All in all he is, IMO, doing pretty darned good. Not quite as steady and stable as he once was...but he still gets to where he wants to go and the pipe foam that Mom has so lovingly decorated her house with does the trick of nicely cushioning his little bumps and miscalculations. He definately still knew me..when I came in and called out to him, he came right to me and demonstrated that inspite of it all, he could still do the boxer wiggle with the best of them!! Nothing wrong with that nub tail..still wiggles just fine. He even waited patiently outside the bathroom door for me to come out...he knew where I was that's was for sure! He's still happy and loving and still enjoys a darned good ol "Butt" rub...ya'll know the spot..right there above the ol nub tail!! I rubbed him until he fell asleep and started snoring and grunting little love grunts in his sleep! I just wish all of you could meet him in person...he is #1 in my book...Hang in there Mr. B!! I enjoyed our weekend and look forward to the next!
