This last two years has been hard on our family. Two years ago this December we lost our childhood cat to old age he was 17. Almost a year later last December we lost our childhood dog to pancreatitus and Kidney Failure. This year we are now not sure, but think out last childhood pat, Gabriel, a German Shepard mix, may have bladder cancer. It really hits you hard when you feel so helpless. The test for cancer came back positive, but the test is only 75% accurate and he also has an infection. So the cells they found could be due to the infection, still it just kills us that we could lose another one of our fur babies so soon. It feels like we have not had enough time to heal yet from the last two. I really question why life is so cruel to hand you a very best friend just to take them away so cruelly. I pray and hope that it is just and infection but with the past results it just seems so hopeless to wish for a better out come. I try to stay positive for him, because he is so sensitive to our emotions. Every time I see his sweet eyes I just want to burst out crying. I don't want to lose my friend. I fell I just CANT do it again. I cant say goodbye. . . I cant let him go watch as he slips away. I just. . . . .I cant. . . .Please pray for me and my family and especially our baby Gabe. Maybe there is hope out there. . .I just don't know anymore.

Murphy's Mom,

Oh how I wish there were some words I could offer to stop the pain and allow your baby to heal. I can offer you my prayers and will keep you all there. Please keep us posted, and know that there are folks out there wishing for the highest of angels to make everything okay.

With comfort,
Carol

I know there are so many prayers sent to you, your, family, and Gabriel right now. There are so many wonderful people here.
The question about why our pets are taken away. We all know in the back of our minds that it is a gift to us to get to Love our furbabies. We know that their time most always comes before ours. It is just the price we have to pay to get to give them so much love. I don't care I will do it over again. Someday when I am ready.

Hoping the best for you guys.
Please keep us informed.

Hope, Hugs, and Prayers!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sending tons of prayers your way. Wishing for the best. They give us such unconditional love and we never want it to leave us. In some ways it never does..Please keep us informed. ..Ann

I am so sorry to hear about your boy. I pray that the infection clears up with treatment and that there is hope on the other tests. I guess first the infection has to be treated. What does your vet say about treatment? Sometimes when it is caught early enough...maybe surgery..will grant more time. Maybe clearing up the infection and then redo the cancer test may give a better result.
I hope so.

Do keep us updated and don't hesitate to ask you vet everything you need to know about everything that is happening. The more you know, the better you are able to help Gab.

Right now, just lots of hugs and kisses is something I just know he would adore having.

Im sorry to say, we got some bad news tonight. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer that has already spread into his lungs. They dont know how long he has left but its already killing me. I know how hard it is going to be to lose another baby i love so much. The tears keep flowing and I can not seem to stop. I already miss him even though he isnt gone yet. He is only 8 years old, I just thought we had a little more time together. He is my baby and he is dying. . . it just kills me. And the worst part is not being able to do anyting at all. I can tell you that losing three pets in 2 yesrs is so hard. Its like. . . .being kicked when you have tripped and fell. Then when you have caught your breath being kicked again. The wounds have not compleatly healed from the others and its just. . . .so hard to deal with it all. I know eventually the pain starts to go away and you begin to remember the great times. . but I just look at him and cry because I love him so much and I do not want him to go. . .I dont think I can say goodbye again.

Oh Murphy's MOM,

I am giving you a great big hug right now. Wish your news would have been better.
Don't give up on Gabriel. He needs you so much right now. Just give him all the love you possibly can.

Keep us informed!!!

Sending you all Hugs and Prayers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
