Wednesday is his checkup to see if the oral chemo is affecting him adversely or not and who knows what else they'll look for or find.

I'm so worried for him that I can only eat tiny bits of food without feeling sick.

He is bouncy-crazy and still strong as an ox so he *seems* to be doing well but I have no idea what's happening inside of him.

Still eats like they're gonna outlaw dog food tomorrow.

Some dogs get lucky and live a long time, remission *can* happen and that is what I pray for.

Also, that there is NO spread anywhere else.

So, please pray for him yet again and forgive me for constantly asking but I believe God can work a miracle for my Best Boy, if it is His will.

A little prayer or two for me would be nice, too.

As it is, my dog is doing better than I am.

Thanks and God bless,

Shari & Hrafi

Praying for that right along with you, friend.

And of course, I am praying for you as well. 🙏✝️

I certainly hope that Hrafi has a good checkup. It would be cruel to have such a happy dog’s life cut short. I also hope that YOU can adjust your attitude to value yourself as well. You are needed here, too!

He is freaking giddy and *still* tries to drag me to my death, with only 3 legs.

Somehow, he has resumed his crazy “twirling” again and that drives me nuts...and often I get caught in his “whirlwind” and thrown into a wall.

How can he be “terminal” and *still* be so wildly happy and active??

I keep hoping it’s a good sign.

I cried because you said I was needed here.

In my real life, only my dogs really need me.

Prayers up.

You have to unwind as well. You stressing out isnt good for him either. Put the energy into making plans for various outcomes. Make plans for what you want to do with him while he’s here. Turn it proactive and productive. It will move you from helpless to in control of what you can control.

And you could die tomorrow any number of ways. Its not a given you outlive him. So calm down. Breathe. They have decaf now. Realize what you are doing is unhealthy for you and him and quit doing it. Make plans for good things you can do and want to do with him, now. Otherwise it will paralyze you and you will waste all the time you still have, and you will then hate yourself for doing that.

I’m not really much in control of my stress right now.

My PTSD dog is giving me worse PTSD.

I am still waiting for my “dog car” to be fixed [17 months and counting for a “two day job”] so I can haul him off to the places and people he enjoys.

The PT Loser is just too cramped for his big butt.

I dread the 140 mile round trips because he’s so miserable in the tiny back seat.

Apparently I shouldna said anything before because he just started twirling and the flung his empty food bowl at me.
[he’s got a great aim for a dog]
Then, as I bent down to get it to give him *more* food, he hip-checked me to my knees in his eagerness.

Crazy dog.

Hi Salamander,

I won't offer advice, you've got plenty already from others and that's enough.

But I do offer continued sincere prayers for you and for Hrafi, that he continues and improves, with God's help and yours. May God grant you strength and peace of mind, hard though those are to come by in such times.

And please, know and remember that there's a bunch of us out here that are pulling for you and Hrafi.

Prayers for you both. Try to eat, your dog wouldn’t be happy to know his mistress is worried sick about him.

Crying isn’t a solution. Neither is worrying and stressing out over things you can’t control or don’t know yet.

The best way to deal with it is to make plans for the scenarios you are aware of and concrete steps to deal with them. Phuck fear. Plan. And carry them out. And modify as needed. Dare to plan and live and live for your buddy boy.

The crying can come later on when he’s done with the fight. Live now. Because he may outlive you. Live well while you can. Live well now for him so he can live well now with you. Plan. Execute. Focus. Control.

Also I almost think I feel more bad fod you that you drive a PT Cruiser. Those things are really cheap pieces of crap. My mom traded her great reliable pontiac bonneville for one with a friend and it was so dumb and a piece of garbage. Couldn’t believe she did that.
