"Ribby", age 9.5 yrs diagnosed with Gastric Carcinoma

[Independence]

Wishing Ribby and you happiness every day. I know it's hard to take things one day at a time but you are doing great. Keep a positive attitude and know that every minute is a blessing. I hope the meds kick in and she starts eating on her own again.

I hope some "puppy" kisses will lift your spirits.

Bode and I are praying for you.

Keeping good thoughts that Ribby has more good days than bad and that she continues to have that great boxer spirit for as long as she can.

Please give her a big ole hug from all of us.

Gee, I couldn't be sad enough already about my dog. This is heartbreaking. I hope Ribsy is at peace. I'm so afraid I'm not going to know when it's time to put Hoss to sleep. Our fears were confirmed yesterday when he had an MRI that showed a large mass in his brain. Cancer it terrible.
Ribsy sounds like she had a great life and was well cared for by you.
Take care

Fingers crossed and lots of prayers for Ribby!

Oh, Ribby certainly has tons of that (stubborn) boxer spirit we all love! She's hanging in there but I fear she's telling me that her time with us is nearly over. She seems serious this time. No more drinking without a syringe. Not going to put her through this much longer...

The speed with which this has all happened just makes my head spin! Her beautiful, solidly muscled body now looks pretty worn out. But she's still our beautiful girl!

We're hugging and kissing on her almost constantly - thanks so much for the kind words of hope and sympathy, everyone.

Sorry to hear that she's not doing well again. :( Ribby is a lucky girl to have such great doggie parents to take care of her.

I too am sorry to hear that Ribby is not doing so great. Thinking of you and hoping that she is improving, at least a little.

So sorry to hear of Hoss's MRI findings. I believe you'll know when it's time to say goodbye - Hoss will let you know. I thought Ribby was ready a few days ago but she let me know it wasn't quite time yet. Today she let me know its time and that today will be our last full day together. :-(

I believe our four-footed friends mostly live for the here & now and don't think too much about the future. That's gotta make these sorts of things a bit easier for them to deal with.

Wishing you nothing but quality time with your pal.

Many continued thoughts and prayers for you and your family.

Lots of boxer hugs and kisses to you sweet Ribby girl.

Oh Bud I'm so sorry. We're all thinking of you and Ribby. Even though I don't know her, reading some of your stories of her has made me adore her! She sounds like she is so loved, and I'm sure she gives it right back to you!

*thinking of you and your family*
