2 years ago Today, we lost Abby. This year has been the first while I've started wanting to get out, socialize and travel more. Feel like giving a s**t again.

RIP Abby

On one hand, losing her, one could surmise that life isnt fair.
On the other, you have to have gratitude and appreciate how lucky you were to spend some time.

"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard" Winnie the Pooh

Out of all the things I've lost this was far and away the worst.

“If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together… there is something you must always remember...You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” - Pooh

“How do you spell ‘love’?” – Piglet
“You don’t spell it…you feel it.” – Pooh”

Abby says - Dont stop believing...hold on to that feeling...

Abby's Foundation site still being built is PetCancerCharity.org & an event minded website to raise funds for Pet Cancer such as walkathons will be up in time at Wag4Cure.org

On July 20, 2017, my dog Abby succumbed to her 14 month battle with A**l Sac Cancer and Severe Arthritis. She was about 16 years of age. Originally, the doctors gave us 3 days to live when diagnosed with this death sentence. They speculated 3 months tops with surgery and chemo. Using the "Cancer...

How do you measure Joy? Joy of a something that makes you smile when you see them smile. Joy that is spread out over the years that still comes back in an instant. Joy of a life and having known them.
While she mostly sleeps in her pain meds "golden slumbers" I get to smile and watch over her. I get joy when I see pics like this that capture her personality. Joy. Its a privilege. I'm blessed to have known this little soul all this time. And I'm blessed that she's helped me know me better.

This was pretty touching when I discovered it on my security cameras.

My 15+ year old dog is slowly dying of cancer. A**l Sac Tumor etc. I setup a home camera to monitor and record her movements to monitor her. I catch my 2 year old dog on it, lying in her bed watching over her. Technically, my older dog used to get angry and not allow her in her bed. They are just "sisters" my house but the 2 year old will lose the one dog who helped mother her. She's started doing this a lot.

In working on a Book about dying, death and loss, I'm looking for stories of what people found helped them through the pain easier. Was there something you did to help relive it that would help others.

Stuff that work for you, like meditation, yoga, dogma etc. Looking for some great stories I may use.

Abby, my husky of 15 years is suffering from A**l Sac Tumor Cancer. Right now she's been on a cancer diet fighting to live. She has turned 3 days to live from the doctor into 2 months as I've been at home with her providing hospice care. Shes still eating , going to the dog park, a l...

Ketogenic diet. Ever heard of it? Great article. I credit the cancer diet to bringing Abby back from the brink from 3 days the doc gave us to put her down to now 2 months later in which her condition improving considerably, bleeding stopped, Tumors reduced. Dandelions, Tumeric, Fish oil and Milk Thistle as well.

"The foundation of the KetoPet Sanctuary’s cancer-fighting approach is the ketogenic diet, which is designed to slow or halt tumor growth. The diet looks like this: 80 to 90% fat (oil such as coconut, olive or MCT), 5 to 15% protein (beef) and 5% carbohydrates (vegetables). Yes, the diet is extreme, but with reason. It’s predicated on the Warburg theory, put forth by Otto Warburg in 1924. Warburg hypothesized that cancer feeds on sugar (which is what carbohydrates break down to) but that it doesn’t process fats well. The takeaway: cut out the sugars/carbs and you’ll slow or stop the cancer.

Please share this info with anyone you hear having a pet with cancer. It may not heal them but it can buy precious time.

Many thanks to all of you who have supported Abby and I over the years. Its time for her to be free of her pain. We've left the vet to take what time we can to prepare. A day, 2 maybe 3 its really Abby's call before the final vet trip. I've got to decide when the pain is too much.
If you have some advice on this little time we have left please give it. I've never had to say heres the countdown to the end.
Abby's diagnosis from the vet is he was able express the left a**l gland but not the right. Abby did poo a lot so hopefully that can make her more comfortable for a day or 2, she's been holding it in. The right gland wont expel and there is one of her famous come out of nowhere polyps inside it. We've always been lucky they have been on the outside. Not this time. The gland is protruding almost 3/4 of an inch out. The problem is there are other multiple polyps all around it and thats part of the deal killer. Its not about just cutting off the gland.
Doc was 99% sure Abby has tumors called Apocrine Gland adenocarcinoma. From his experience with them hes sure thats where we are at. And we dont know if its spread internally to her other organs. Abby's polyps move fast. They come out of nowhere.
Money isnt a problem I have no problem spending the money, its not even that much I was surprised, but I would be torturing Abby at 16 years old tortured already with age and arthritis. Quality of life for Abby is this: If I spend the money, they will remove all the area of polyps. She will be a gaping hole that will have a hard time healing. For Abby the worst part is she will have to live in a diaper as she will not control her functions. I can live with this. I did it with Shadow's p*e leaks, its part of the gig. It wont be fun healing up and living that way for Abby. It'll be miserable. If its cancer she will need to be tortured by chemo and doctors for months. Chemos not bad $300 a month they said maybe more. The sum of what I'll be buying. Maybe 3 Months. A young dog will buy maybe 2 years. Abby's 16 and Huskies only live to 12-14. And maybe fewer months assuming it hasnt spread to her other organs. Shes drinking a ton of water indicating she already has high calcium levels. Things are failing.
The hard part of this is Abby still has a run and a spark light in her eye. We went for a walked around the block and she pulled like crazy but couldnt do a 2nd round. She just cant lose the back half. This is so hard for me. Shadow was done and she'd been tired for a long time. Shadow didnt want to go on car rides or do anything but sleep. Abbys still lickedy split all over its just the back half has stopped. She's bright and shiny on the front and the back is well done. Its fu**ed up.
Anyway thats the update I'm gonna go spend time with Abby and I'm sure she appreciates you all as I do. I'm gonna call the doc and ask if we cut off the right gland. Its worth asking.
