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!

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.

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.

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.

Just a day or two ago I saw something on the news about dogs and cancer.

He and you have my prayers.

❤️🙏. Prayers for the both of you. I remember a tripod Dobie from the ‘70s. She was amazingly fast on one hind leg.
