This is my first photoshop-ed pop art pic of Biggelow. This is from the "bored" pic. I went a little crazy with the texturizer, but I think it came out ok.

Puppy Love

This was my dog Rascal. Half Cocker Spaniel and half French Bulldog. My only source of unconditional love. Yes..he loved me no matter what.

On a distressing note...::sighs::This is just a bad year..bad week all the way around. The vet suspects Rascal might have cancer. They have sent cytology tests off...should know by Wednesday whether it is good or bad news. He even has swelling around his larynx now and the vet has told me to watch for respiratory distress. It has me all worked up..Rascal is like my child. I do not think I could bear to lose that which I love most.

Update. The aspirate biopsy came back suspicious for lymphosarcoma. This is a cancer of the lymph system. He went for a full nodal biopsy today 4.6.07...Should know more by next week. While such type of cancer is treatable, it is not curable. And treatment will depend on staging and type. If it is B cell...there is hope. If it is T cell type...I do not want to even think of it. I have cried plenty of tears lately and am now at the point of accepting whatever the outcome may be...however painful. I am hoping for the best since he is my buddy and companion. My beloved pal. He is a much loved dog. Even the veterinarians he sees at Cedar Bluff Animal Clinic all cried the day the news came back. Everyone there loves him so and I thank them for all they have done to help. They are wonderful. Lets keep our hopes high that everything will be allright.

More of an update. Just havent gotten around to posting much lately...Rascal has B cell high grade lymphoma. It is the aggressive kind however and can only be treated palliative. I have been up and down the scale of grief. They are treating him with prednisone to reduce the swelling of the glands, tagamet to keep his tummy from being upset due to number one and have him on tramadol for pain. Every day is a roller coaster ride... and one of which I would love to get off of.

Update..May 29, 2007...Rascal lost his battle to the cancer. He was mercifully euthanized after his decline left him no longer able to walk or eat. I will never forget my little butterball.

Feb 26, 2008. Well, its almost been a year and the pain still has not fully healed. I cry every time I think about it. Even looking at his pic makes me cry. I lost a special soul when I lost him. The empty spot still remains for my best friend.

March 25, 2008. I dread the next couple of months. Too many anniversaries..too many tears to resurface. While Finnegan has filled but a partial void, he has not nor ever will take Rascal's place. He just isn't the same. May will be horrible...I don't even want to think about it at all. I can't, it makes me ill...

June 7, 2008. Well, its been a year now. There is still a great ache deep within my heart. I cried on the anniversary date. He will never be forgotten....and I will never cease to cry.

2010 Three years and two new dogs later, Rascal lives on. I still miss my snuggle buddy.

Peeeeeek A Boooo
