Prayer Request for My Dog


Today we were sad to find out that my precious boxer Rocco has a tumor that may cause him to have to be put down. We won't find out for another day or so, but we are really sad tonight at the thought as he has been such a lively sweet friend to us now for almost 7 years. Please pray that the tumor is not cancerous, and that it can be removed safely. We love him so much. This was shot over the holidays as he loved lying by the fire, but has never liked having his picture taken. Thank you.

Carole,

I feel for you and COMPLETELY understand what you are going through! My dog (Lexus) of 12 years had a tumor the size of a soccer ball removed from her stomach. Unfortunately I found out that it was cancer. She rebounded back after the surgery and is what the vet calls a miracle dog. My time with her is limited, so I know exactly what you are going through. I will pray for both Rocco and your family.

Oh Zuerk, thank you! I am so happy that Lexus made it through and is a living miracle. Unfortunatley, Rocco did make it since when he was in surgery he was bleeding badly internally, etc. So they went ahead and put him down. He must have really been suffering, so I'm glad he suffers no more. Thank you for your throughts and prayers. We look forward to finding a new "friend" or even two! Thank you again!

Carole, I'm so sorry to hear about Rocco.
My precious cat Aiko was put to sleep a few days ago, because he had a cancerous tumor in his side. He was only 4.

At first we thought the surgery would save him, but it turned out that the tumor was inoperable.

My love goes out to you... this has been so painful for me and I hope everyone is ok.

Chelo, I'm so sorry about your cat. We grieve together. Thank you for your comment here and sharing your cat story. Love to you too!
