Spirit Animal Sanctuary"s Lymphoma Dog "Killey Dog"

Posted on March 23, 2010 by thespiritdog

The day we got Killey dog, I noticed his neck was swollen a little bit. I thought it may have been an infection from fighting until about twenty minutes later when he was comfortable enough with me, so I could really check him out. As soon as I felt his lymph nodes in his neck, then up under his legs, I knew he was in trouble. About a half hour later, he was at our vets office getting his first chemo treatment.

Killey dog received his seventh chemotherapy treatment, today.

Please Help Killey dog receive his life extending medical treatments by donating today.

Thank You

I Miss My Dog...

That pretty much goes without saying doesn’t it? I suppose it is getting easier but there are days where the emptiness of the house and my life where he was are glaring. I miss putting him to bed, running him across the street in that very empty field I see every damn day… And I really miss Dr Butzer too. The cats are just not the same… they do not fill the void in their strange aloofness and it makes it tough.

I still wear his tags around my neck every day. The jingle makes me happy.

I am sure I will get another Lab when the time is right. And I am sure Cody will visit me through him. It has to be a boy… and has to be a Lab… why mess with perfection?

Well… just stopping in to say hello to let you all know I am still here…
