Ullaluv

Who is RMarie? (He gets lots of hugs when I visit, and is much loved by everyone at OSU when I'm not there.

That's my boy. He went back to his group, with a tumor on a hind leg, which turned out to be a rapidly growing soft tissue sarcoma. With the stage 3 sarcoma there is about a 50% chance of metastasis, so a 50% chance for cure with amputation. (Local excision with clean margins is not possible.) He came to me for his amputation. He had the leg amputated at OSU last week and should be coming home to me soon. (Technically, he's a foster, but he's not going anywhere after he come back here from OSU.) He is one of the sweetist, and brightist, Greyhounds I have known.

Robin, I am sitting here in total shock and disbelief. I am so, so sorry for your horrendous loss. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

Melissa, I am so sorry for your heartbreaking loss. I know how much Jack meant to you and your family. I hope that time will help heal your heart and that it will be filled will precious memories of your wonderful boy.

Melissa, I am so sorry for your huge loss. I hope that Jack sends you a message soon, even though that won't mend the big hole in your heart.

Go, Jack!

How is Jack doing today?

I'm sorry to have taken so long to post here and tell you how very sorry I am for your loss of your lovely and most special girl. I never had the pleasure of meeting her, but felt I knew her through your posts about her and the beautiful pictures you have posted of her. She was a most special girl, and I know she is waiting for you at the bridge, probably frolicking with some of my bridge angels.

So much better a diagnosis than what it might have been! Hopefully, now that you know what you're dealing with, you'll be able to control it well and Jack will have many more happy years with you.
