Sam, My Heart

I would like to introduce you to Sam, Grizzy's best friend, and one of my dearest friends. In the eight years he has been with us we have almost lost him two times; once to a strange autoimmune illness and May, 2007, to an acute case of pancreatitis. He is an amazing dog who has taught me a bunch of tricks throughout the years. The best thing Sam has shown me is extreme and unconditional love. Sam is probably one of the most intelligent dogs I have ever been around. I'll keep you updated on some great happenings around our place:)

Grizzy's Fight With Cancer Post Surgery

Grizz had his surgery to remove the main tumor on his rear area. He has anal sac adenocarcinoma. He was originally misdiagnosed by a different vet so it had a chance to spread. We made the decision to remove the main tumor for his comfort. Our vet performed the surgery around three weeks ago. Grizz had a very rough time after the surgery. He developed ulcers due to a very strong anti-inflammatory drug that he was on to lessen the blood supply to the tumor. They were going to remove the lymph nodes in his abdomen but when they opened him up they saw that there were some tiny cancer spots on his spleen and liver. He has three tiny spots in his lungs, as well. He is a fighter and is doing very well following his recovery from the ulcers. It was touch and go for a week. Now, we cannot keep him down. We do not know how much time we have with Grizz, but I have him on some natural treatments that I hope will slow down this horrid disease. The latest up date came yesterday when I took him in to get chest films done. As of yet, there is NO noticeable tumor growth! I'll keep you posted:) Thanks for reading! Wolfycat

Rubber Art Stamps

Hello All!!

I would like to spread the word about my new art stamp company. I spent several months designing very detailed art stamps. These pen and ink drawings came close to driving me crazy, but the results are very creative art stamps. Several sets of my stamps are in production as I write this! When my website is totally up I'll share the address. The sample above is a 4x6 inch note card sized art stamp called "Enchanted Forest." The "Flower Faces" set is a 6x9 inch set. At first, these flower faces will only be available as a set. I have also included my 9x12 inch set named "Fairie Birds." Hopefully, I'll be able to offer them individually very soon.

Some of my other sets are named "Butterfly People And Friends" , "Heavenly Horses" and "Leaf Creatures."

Leave your e-mail address and when I am open for business, I'll send you my link.

Thanks for viewing!

Grizzy's Fight With Cancer

"Your dog has cancer and it has spread to his lungs. He has three to four months." That's how it started a couple on months ago. I cried with disbelief. Grizzy had always been the healthiest of our dogs. An accomplished traveler, he and Sam moved with us numerous times as my husband followed his career path. We just could not believe the news.

Part of this blog is dedicated to Grizzy's fight with cancer. I will share how it is going two to three times a week. We are fighting back with nutritional warfare and yes, we are praying that our friend and companion will survive this cruel invader that prematurely steals so many lives, animal and human.

Feel free to share suggestions and your own experience with your beloved pets.

Thanks for reading!
