Are you wearing red today? Show your support of the troops!

Sadie, the Dalmointer of the group, has been diagnosed with cancer. She has had benign growths on her body (fatty deposits, basically) for a while now. This latest is tough. The cancer is around her colon, pressing on it in various angles. This makes it difficult for her to have a proper BM. We are administering stool softener and a laxative-like medicine, this is followed with Pepcid for the upset tummy that follows the laxative.

Surgery isn’t really an option – to remove the cancer a lot of the muscles around the colon and tail would be removed also. This would cause huge problems, like not being able to wag her tail. Or control her bowels.

We are told she has between three and six months without surgery; up to a year with it – but with a greatly reduced quality of life – and that is important. If she’s not comfortable, it isn’t worth trying to make her comfortable.

She will be missed. She will be going to join Sarah and Logan at the Rainbow Bridge, where they will be waiting for us.

Please keep her FurMom, The Most Beautiful Woman in the World, in prayer. She is taking this really hard.

Chat ya later…

Thanks for stopping by, In GOD We Trust, and Wear Red on Fridays!
