Dear Friends,
Today I found out that my beloved Big Boy, Bismarck, has cancer.
You know that he and Poopy Girl, Ryder, are my LIFE.
So you can imagine how concerned I am for my baby.
He is only 5 1/2 years old. My husband and I are going to do everything we possibly can to give him the longest, happiest life possible.
If you could pray for Bismarck, and keep him in your prayers, I can’t even tell you how much that would mean to all of us.
There have been many tears today… we are, however, going to think positive and do everything possible for our Big Boy’s health.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts and prayers.

I’m so sorry to hear about Big Boy! I’ll definitely be praying. Some people don’t understand how much our dogs mean to us, but I know he’s a part of your family.
Please keep us all posted…says a former lurker who had to unlurk upon reading the news.
Give all your family a big hug right now.

Oh, that makes me so sad! I’m so sorry.
I understand what it’s like to have a pet get sick. We’ve been there.
He’s so young still I pray that he can recover from this!!

Oh my gosh! Jane, I CRIED when I read this post! I am so sorry to hear about Big Boy! I do hope that he doesn’t suffer too much and that he has a happy rest of his life. What kind of cancer? Is it really bad? One of the questions that always comes to mind is “How does a pet get cancer?” I know I sound really dumb, but it’s something I think about.
Chance is turning 5 this year and I always worry about him. I worry that he may get into a fight with a porcupine or wolf (we’re in the country!). I worry that he might hurt himself while playing in our fields. I just worry so much and all he wants to do is play and be happy! So, the thought of something happening to him really makes my heart sink. I can only imagine what you are going through right now.
I’ll be thinking about you guys and hope Big Boy’s okay
Hugs to you all!

OH NO!!!! What kind of cancer????
My previous dog, Duke, had liver cancer. In addition to steroids, we did a lot of holistic treatment to help him. The vet gave him six months and Duke made it to five months. There are many holistic treatments that are quite helpful.
I will be saying an extra pray to St. Francis for Big Boy!!!!!

You and Big Boy will definitely be in our prayers. I do believe in the power of prayer.

Jane… I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am! I know how much you love those kids and what a difficult journey this will be. I will be thinking of you and your family.
June 3, 2007 at 1:12 pm
Oh my goodness! I am so sorry Jane! I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers!
June 4, 2007 at 12:24 pm
OH NO!!! I’m so sad for you!
( I pray the vets are able to find a good treatment plan that works. Keep us posted, and in the meantime, know you are in my thoughts.
