HUGS!
I'm so sorry Pat. :( You all will be in my thoughts and prayers. {hugs}
Dear Pat... I was getting caught up reading this thread and my heart went into my throat and then felt like it sunk down into my gut. :( Tears are falling and I wish I knew of something comforting and uplifting to say, but all I can do is tell you that you and Sherman are in my prayers, that I am here and hurting so deeply for you. We're all here for you. Ugh, I just keep typing and then backtracking because nothing seems right to say. I'm praying for you, thinking of you. Sending gentle hugs to you and kisses to precious Sherman.
Oh no, Pat, Jojoe, Star, Sherman, I can't believe what I am reading. I was so hoping for them to make the diagnosis, because then they could start treatment. It never occured to me that this would what they find. I am sending prayers for all of you. Please give Sherman hugs from all of us.
I haven't posted to much of anything in quite a while but I wanted you to know that I am SO SO sorry. I can't beleive it went from "kennel cough" to this. I am absolutely shocked by this. I have no words at all that will offer comfort but I am sending prayers and love to Sherman and all of you. I am just horribly horribly saddened by this.
Sherman is only 4, his birthday is in December. I know "life's not fair", but this sucks bigtime.Quote:

I fought hard for my beloved boy. He refused food and he just started wasting away. The medicine which was his only hope, didn't work on him and I just decided that he had suffered enough. He was fairly young as well. He was 12 years old, but he was only a 40 pound dog and he could have lived at least another 2-4 years. He was physically the most sound, active, alert, healthy dog before his prognosis, and they gave him very low changes of survival. I tried and tried to get him better, to get him to eat, to make him happy, to make him comfortable. I tried...and I failed. I had to let go and make that heart-wrenching decision to have his pain and suffering ended.
I so hoped Sherman would pull out of this. I know I prayed and prayed. I prayed that he would beat the odds, that it was not fungal, I prayed that magnificent Sherman would fight and win the battle that I lost with Graham. I'm so sorry. My heart aches for you, more then you can imagine.
I'm so sorry. I don't even know you very well but I really feel your pain so close to my heart. My heart is absolutely broken for you. I am still praying for a miracle for you and Sherman.
-Leslie and family
Oh, dear, dear, dear. Give Sherman a big hug from me, okay?
Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry to hear this :(
I am glad that Sherm gets to be home with his family, I'm sure that makes him happier than being in a hospital. I'm praying that you get good news even if it's not likely - my thoughts are with you and your family :(
Oh my gosh, I am sitting here bawling. Sherman has always been one of my favorite PT pups. He's just so gorgeous. I am SO sorry to be reading this..I am totally speechless. I don't know what else to say but I'm so sorry. :( Sherman please, be ok! PLEASE!
Pat,
My heart is absolutely breaking. I don't know what to say. I knew that Sherman was not feeling well but have not been around much and didn't know how bad things were. Anna and Staci filled me in on it today. The three of us were together today and Staci checked to see if there was an update yet. We were really hoping to hear better news. I am devastated just from reading your last post so I can't even imagine how you and JoJoe are feeling. Sherman is one of my favorite boys here at PT and I remember when I first saw his picture here and you telling us where he came from. When I met him at the Findlay dog park I fell in love with him. First thing that caught my eye is his coloring. Such a gorgeous color! Then I got to find out what a sweet guy he is and that was all it took. Your boy stole my heart. I am so angry at myself that I didn't go to the last get together so that I could see you, JoJoe, Star and your sweet boy Sherman before you moved
I will be thinking about you and your family and keeping you all in my prayers. I hope Sherman is resting comfortably and is pain free. Please give him a gentle hug and some petting filled with love from me.
{{{{HUGS}}}}.........Robin (RobiLee)
Ah, dang it, Pat. I'm so sorry that news wasn't better for you and your sweet boy. I hope you get some bonus time to enjoy with him.
Pat, Pat, Pat...
I'm just in shock over what I've heard. I just walked in the door and Robin gave me the news, then to read it just made it so real. BIG time LES:(
I never in my wildest dreams believed that Sherman would be leaving this world so soon. It's not fair. Not to you guys and definitely not to him.
I know things can change over night and I will be praying that god finds it in his heart to change this. He's had quite enough fur angels here lately, surely he can spare one.
You'll all be in my prayers...
Oh my gosh. I am just in shock. I was hoping that there would be good news for Sherman, he's such a gorgeous boy, and I've loved reading all about him since I've been on PT.
If he has to go to the Bridge soon, I hope it will be quick. I know it will be painful, it's such a hard decision to make.
Take care sweet Sherman... this is way too soon for you to be going through anything like this. Gentle hugs and kisses to you, dear boy.
I'll be thinking of your family and praying that you will all find strength being together.
Oh My. I am so sorry to hear this news. Sherman is one my favorite huskies, and one of Spot's favorite play buddies.
Please give Sherman a huge hug for us. If there are any miracles due up, I sure would liket o see this one happen. All our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I really don't know what to say except that all of us who have been in your situation know what it's like. You are not alone.....we all feel your pain.
Prayers on the way. :( :(
Oooh dear, I've been following this thread, but I never imagined it would turn out to be cancer :( Tears are falling for you and your angel, Pat. I know he's lived and is continuing to live a blessed life. Our strength and faith go out to you. You're in our hearts.
Pat and family you will all be in my thoughts :(.

We'll take all the hugs we can get. It still doesn't seem possible, but it's starting to sink in today. :( (need an icon for crying here)
He ate well last night (chicken & peanut butter) as long as I hand-fed him. Then JoJoe mentioned one of his very favorite treats - Yummie Chummies. I remembered stashing a bag with some in the cupboard, and you can see he was pretty pleased! He slept well. He also ate a bit this morning, and still drinking tons of water. He only seems to have pain when he gets up to go out, and as soon as he cried, Star was right at his side. She waited for him & they went out in the yard together. I'm passing on hugs & kisses.
thank you for the pictures pat. i'm sending prayers and hugs

We're still thinking of you Sherms!
Still thinking of all of you. Those pictures are beautiful and heartbreaking. I can't believe this is happening, I wish there was something that could be done, I know you've done everything possible. :( Sherman is just a few months younger than Nebo. I've always loved that beautiful boy of yours, and he's even sweeter in person, I'm glad I met him. Lots of {{{{HUGS}}} to all of you, and we're still praying for a miracle, if anyone deserves one, it's Sherman.
