Miss Snickers

11.11.09



My Dear Friends:



I write today to ask your prayers for my Beautiful Miss Snickers. She is so ill, and it isn't the seizure monster that is bothering her now.



You may have read on her bloggie that she has had bad swelling in her throat and neck. For a while, we thought she was doing much better, that her Mama and the vet had found the problem and taken care of it.



Now the swelling has come back, and she is most uncomfortable. She is not eating and does not even want to drink water. Her Mama is worried, and Butchy and her cats are in distress. I am devastated, and worried, and I cannot think what to do to help her.



Her Mama took her to the vet this morning, and he says it may be lymphoma, a cancer that doggies can get that makes them very sick. They are trying Prednisone to bring the swelling down, and she will see the vet again on Friday. I hope they have some better news then, but I must tell you, I am a bit of a Pessimist about this.



So I am asking you once again to pray for a furfriend, keep her in your hearts, send up the prayer flags, cross paws and ask your humans for their help also.



This is making me feel much worse than when my first family chose to let me be rehomed. Please help me find hope.



Gussie

There is always hope. There must always be hope.

Thank you, Gussie, for helping Snickers and her family by posting this update. The word is out and we know there will soon be a huge circle of paws stretched around the world, embracing Snickers and her family. We want them to feel our support and to benefit from every breath of love, zen, prayer, whatever is offered.

There is such support in this community. And once more we are happy to be able to be part of it. This time on the giving end.

Love to you, and to MIss Snickers and her family.
Paws crossed and ever hopeful,
Jake and Fergi xxoo

Oh NO Gussie,
We will howl to heaven for her and Mom will pray that God does not need a new angel right now.
Mom told the story about Tess last year, lymphoma is what she had. A biopsy told for sure and also some bloodwork. We hope and pray your Miss Snickers does NOT have that awful lymphoma. We will go right over and see her!
Hang in there Gussie.
