Rebecca ~
Oh, how my heart goes out to you! I went through my dbl mast and chemo alone (people-wise) but had my Sheltie, Abby, and olde kat, Kirby, right by my side for everything.
My surgery was June 1, 2006, then chemo, and then in November, the day of my first "all clear" checkup I came home on such a high ... only to have to put Abby down when I got home -- just four days before her 3rd birthday.
She was a gift from God. I had gotten a wonderful report from my oncologist that day for my first 3-month checkup. Abby had been sick for about a year but was such a fighter. It comforted me so much to think she was a guardian angel of sorts and I believe Abby knew her job was done ... she saw me through cancer and on the first day I felt safe she was able to leave.
But oh, how it breaks our hearts when it is their time.
Here's a huge hug and many prayers for Cannon and you during this transition time. I've loved your avatar of him. And Abby is still my avatar too.
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
Helen (a.k.a. AbbyDawg)
