JSM's BEGGING FOR BANNING #28 8/23/11 - 10/24/11

[joesamas mama]

this is what Josef has, dont know what triggred the bleeding, could be from putting him the car, jumping on the bed but it is bad and that is why I have to make this hard decision...Visceral Hemangiosarcoma - spleen
The spleen is a large abdominal organ which while not essential for life, serves an important role to the  blood and
lymph functions.  Splenic growths have the unfortunate tendency to break open and bleed profusely regardless of
whether they are benign or malignant. While a splenectomy (removal of the spleen) ends the prospect of this type of
life-threatening sudden bleed, splenic hemangiosarcoma is still a rapidly spreading malignancy.

When a splenic mass is detected, it may not be possible to tell prior to splenectomy whether or not the mass is
malignant or not although testing will most likely be performed to attempt to determine this.  It has been estimated
that 25% of dogs with splenic Hemangiosarcoma also have a heart-based Hemangiosarcoma.

The vet just called and said he is resting and we are waiting for all the girls at the pet lodge to come to work so that they can be there for me. my best friend and ex bil are taking me up there.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT.

My heart breaks for you right now...giant hugs coming your way...

Thank you Cookie, no he is bleeding internally and the vet says he does spelenctomies all the time and it wouldn't help him. He was shocked when he came in thought we were just going to go the steroid route, had no clue this was what was going on. Thank you for the hugs.

Thank you Cookie, the only thing you can do is pray that I am strong when it happens. All your support is what is going to help me through this, plus a little    tonight to ease the pain

Thanks Brandi, you all have been so kind to me and Josef I really appreciate all your support. I know your hearts are breaking as much as mine. I will be strong for him. We are not going to do it in the hospital, but in the petlodge where he is more comfortable. Guess I better get dressed, not even going to shower because it is about time I get ready to go

Love you all  JSM

JSM  - I just scored some crack and pickles for you. I'm with you and Sir Poopy Pants in my thoughts. I really hate not being there for you in person. See you soon please. I'm still crying over your hurt and hugging Ruby for us. I just don't know what else to do and hope you can forgive me fir not being there. This sucks. :  (

[cadillac]

Oh JSM - I just logged on to check on everyone.  My heart is broken for you.  You are doing the right thing for Josef - he has the best furmommy ever.  Wish we could all ease your pain - and wish CC could be there to help with that.

Chubbie and the Criminal send their hugs, kicking breath and dirty paws.

Peace and love.

[CasuallyCool]

Cry on my shoulder
And hold me so tight
I'm here for you always
And your dreams at night

I just got home, Josef is on the oxygen and IV to keep him stable until the morning. I am praying he makes it through the night so that the girls at PetLodge can see him before we do what we have to do tomorrow. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.  Never thought it would happen this way. Just hard on me right now. 

I am so sorry JSM.Praying for you and CC.

  Thank you Trimmy, please if you talk to Sidekick tell him JSM needs words of wisdom. 

Sidekick has told me many times that the little animals live as long as they can an he believes they go to heaven when they pass.
You keep them in your heart and try and make sure you have a picture to look at,but not so much for humans because the eyes stare at you.(little humor,that is how he rolls)He hopes someday to have a dog all his own.
If I talk to him this evening I will see if he has anything new.(would not let him come this weekend due to circumstances next door)
Many monkey hugs to you and CC.You have been the best Mom ever. 

[CasuallyCool]

Rest in Peace my Joe Daddy.

Dog Ten Commandments
#10. . Take care of me when I get old; you too will grow old. Go
with me on difficult journeys. Never say: "I cannot bear to
watch" or "Let it happen in my absence." Everything
is easier for me if you are there, even my death.
Remember that I love you.

JSM, my prayers, you all were so kind to me when Zoe passed, that will never be forgotten. I came to know Josef, fell in love with Josef, enjoyed stories about Josef. Came on here today, just sick about what is happening, you know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Not good at words, but tears are running down my face, peace to you and all that have been touched by Josef. Can't help but think that perhaps Zoe and Josef will be playing together

Good bye sweet Joseph.

Have missed all of you, and reading about Josef today, just so sad. I remember sometimes JSM and I would get both pups mixed up on the avatars, even though Zoe and Josef look nothing alike, brought a little smile to my face, hope it does for you JSM.

Yes, I remember that quite well. Just mentioned it to my husband before you posted this.

Such a sad day today.
