poor gracie...sucks being sick :(

First, thanks everyone for the compliments on the snow pics. My prince gets the credit. He was a pro photographer for many years and has such a great eye. Even with a point-and-shoot, his pictures always put mine to shame.

Also thanks for the well wishes. Unfortunately I'm a lot sicker than I was a few days ago. I keep wondering when I'm going to hit the tipping point and start feeling better instead of worse.

Finally, I haven't been checking in much but I was so hoping for some good Gracie news. It must feel terrible to watch her when she's feeling bad. Especially since at the the beginning she still seemed like her regular self. :(

I'm going to look at it the way they talk about chemo with people. If it's making her feel sick, it must be working! It takes strong meds to fight cancer but I think Gracie is strong too. I hate it that she feels so bad but I'm counting on a big comeback! :thumbup:

Poor sick doggies :( Butt scratches all round!!

Dashing through the snow . . . .

That’s some real winter weather you got yourself there.

Around here doggie and their masters go up into the mountains and visit snow :shock: Once finished they go back home to sunshine and warmth.

Thanks for sharing. Warn thoughts for you and your health.

I have been thinking about Gracie, how is she doing ???

remember this picture from Wednesday? Gracie was lethargic, mopey and puking .



Well, things have changed. Yesterday, someone threw the "on" switch! She played HARD at the park and was doing all the stuff I hate (but love to see) - humping my leg, attacking her bed, chasing her tail, pawing under the computer desk, etc. So, Wednesday remains a mystery....was it cancer induced, medicine induced or just a blah day? Who knows? I'm just glad she's spunky again.

Glad to see Gracie just had an off day....

As you know, it is those days that are hard for us to handle.

Thanks! They are now saying we may have snow again on Tuesday. :shock:
NOOOOOOO :!:
I don't know how you northern folk stand it.
I'll admit it's nice to look at when you're not worrying about downed power lines.

some very sad news from cesar milan

Cesar Millan, all his family and friends, his staff and volunteers, and dog lovers all around the world today will mourn the passing of one of the most loyal, trusting, well-balanced, and influential pit bull ambassadors the world has ever known. Daddy, Cesar's longtime friend and partner in canine rehabilitation, died peacefully surrounded by family on Friday the 19th of February. He was sixteen years old.

He lived each day of those sixteen years happy and fulfilled as Cesar's right-hand-"man," helping to shape the behavior of entire generations of dogs by showing them the way to balance. He stood as champion for calm-submissive pit bulls everywhere, and was instrumental in helping to repair their image as violent, savage, uncontrollable beasts. He successfully battled cancer and weathered chemotherapy, and even got the opportunity to present at the 56th Annual Creative Arts Emmy Awards!

His name is now added to that honorable roster of dogs gone by whose influence is still felt today, and which includes some of Cesar's beloved childhood heroes: "Rin-Tin-Tin." "Lassie." ... "Daddy."

He has been immortalized by Dog Whisperer fans in all mediums, from painting, to photographs, to charcoal drawings and papier-mâché sculpture. And, of course, he lives on in his work, reflected in the balance and calm-submission of his protégé Junior, the countless animals to whom he was a positive role model, and in the hearts and minds of everyone who knew him as a calm, sweet, and mellow example of a widely misunderstood breed.

In Loving Memory.
