Lucy

I have tried writing this post over and over but whichever way I try the words do not in anyway describe the inner turmoil and emotions twisting my stomach into knots this evening. So I’ll just lay down the facts and that will have to suffice;

Tomorrow Lucy, after a few days of illness, is been taken to the vets for a third examination within a week upon a ‘thickening/growth’ in her abdomen. This will determine if a steroid injection has made any change or whether an operation will be required to determine what action (if possible) may be taken. We are hoping for the best although it’s difficult with this cloud above us.

I hope that you’ll all understand if I give the blog a miss for a while, just finding that, without the wind in my sails, it’s losing its relevance and that writing is neigh on impossible..

Regards,

John

We are with you - sending heartfelt thoughts and caring to you and yours at this difficult time. I have so loved your "bog monster" from afar and understand far to well about times like these. Hugs to all of you, especially dear Lucy.

Very sorry to hear this John. Hope Lucy will be ok. Anybody who's had a dog they love knows they're far more than just a pet. Hope all turns out well.

Dog lovers everywhere have a tear in their eye.

I'm pulling for you Lucy.

John, I am sorry to hear Lucy is sick. I Pray whatever it is, it can be dissolved or removed safely. Try to keep your head up, for Lucy's sake. Hang in there. I'll be thinking of you both, my friends. Waiting, however long, to hear she is okay.

John,
Most of us here are not only dog lovers, but particularly "bog monster lovers" as well. We will all be keeping you and Lucy in our thoughts and prayers until you can come back and let us know how you both are faring. I pray it goes well for her, and you.
Have been there, will be there again. It is a terrible place and time to be. We are there with you.
