That is my prayer as well that she live as long as her puppy. I have a 4yo and a 7yo that I would love for her to see them graduate. She is only 67yo. She acts like she is 47. When I was younger my mom would take me and my friends to our local roller skating rink. She was not only the chaperon but she would get out on the floor and skate with us. She was always fun. She was still a mom but fun to have around. We went through a couple of rough patches but now we go off for the day and shop or just hang out and enjoy time together. We are already talking about visiting some of the dog friendly restaurants and stores with our dogs on my days off.

Thank you everyone for the compliments and prayers. When my mom was diagnosed they gave her a year at the most. She was diagnosed with Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer. She did not tell me this until after her 1 year anniversary from surgery. That is my mom 100 percent. She did not want me to worry. She said that she prayed and asked to let her see my son graduate. Unless he fails, he is set to graduate June 2012. That is too soon for me

I needed her to have something else to live for. Someone offered her their dog that they had decided to rehome. She said yes but then they changed their mind. That is what gave me the idea for the puppy.

I am praying that it all works out well. The treatment that they used was very effective on her cancer cells and the doctor said that is a very good sign.

I appreciate the compliments about me being a good daughter but I have to say honestly that I am just a daughter trying to keep my mom happy and around for as long as God will allow. I am not ready to let her go yet. After seeing her with this little puppy, my thoughts were confirmed that this little girl will bring tons of joy into her life. Teal is the color for Ovarian cancer. I have an order with Darlin Beauxs for a teal pair of bows for this little furr angel to wear to show her support for her new mommy.

Again I just want to say thank you all for your kind words.

This was really touching! I wish you and your mother the best! I know how hard cancer is and how scary it is. Stay strong!

I love the idea of teal bows. How sweet!

jltwigg10 · 01-26-2011, 02:41 PM

My plan is to get her a teal dress to go with it but I have to wait till I see the shade and all so I can match it.

She went this afternoon to see her again. The tone in her voice picks up when she talks about her.

She goes to the oncologist on the 28th of Feb in the morning and then goes and picks up her baby that afternoon. Regardless of what the doctor says I know that my mom's day will end on a good note. (of course I am praying for good news)

yorkieusa · 01-26-2011, 03:55 PM

That's a wonderful way for her to end her day. How could she possibly have any bad news on such a great day? It'll be good news! Just watch!

Wylie's Mom · 01-26-2011, 04:35 PM

What a loving person you are

. I bet this little kiddo will bring untold joy and love into your Mom's world. Dogs are so healing too.

I don't have advice for grooming, but it looks like you already got lots of help there. Btw, don't ever worry about posting questions like this...all people and their doggies are welcome here.

jltwigg10 · 01-26-2011, 07:35 PM

Sorry guys I forgot that I had a picture from when my mom met her a couple of weeks ago. Here you go. You cant see Missi very well but you can see that she is lovingly cradled in my moms arms.

I will post a better picture of her soon and of course one after she goes home with my mom.

Thank you all again for the advice and such kind words.

yorkieusa · 01-26-2011, 07:48 PM

What a precious picture that is. It's very touching. That little puppy is already very well-loved.

joeys mom · 01-26-2011, 08:25 PM

That is such a sweet photo of them...please let her know we are sending Best Wishes and Prayers her way...Missy will bring much joy and bright moments her way...she may even be able to take her with her during her treatments. You can check this out on the 28th while there....They look as though they belong together...

Thank you. Unfortunately she cannot go with her for her treatments when she has to start back on them. They are done in a hospital and so they will not allow her to come with my mom.

Each time I see them together it just reaffirms for me that my friend and I did the right thing. She already loves her so much.

jltwigg10 · 03-01-2011, 05:05 PM

I realize that it has been a little while but I wanted to update you all with her going home pictures.

Unfortunately we did not get good news at the doctors but they are optimistic and on top of it. We also know that God is in control so we will trust Him to guide the way.

I am sorry... but your story has made me cry. I lost my mom 15 years ago and I will tell you one word of advice. Love her every minute you have her with you.
I live near you... I think .. I have an extra crate and small puppy stuff if you need it.

Your mom will love the little poodle.. I had one as a pre teen and he was so smart and loving!! A great choice.

I will add your family to my prayers. and I hope to hear many stories of job about your mom and her puppy.

Thank you so much for that reminder and for the offer.

I took my time and over the past 7 weeks I had gotten her almost everything she needed. Somehow I forgot to get her a leash and harness. But that is okay because she went today and picked out a leash and pretty pink harness. That is what she is wearing in the pictures. Guess I needed to let her buy something for her new puppy. LOL

She is a very good puppy already. Mom has had her for 24 hours and no accidents in the house or her crate. My mom drove a friend to a drs apt today because they had car problems. She was gone 3 hours and Missi held it that entire time. She did not go in her crate and she waited until she got outside and squatted and went. My mom praised her a lot for that one.

They are really off to a great start.

Friend uses a wide tooth comb...seems to work well for them. Yes there is a forum for other breeds.

Furbaby Friend · 03-02-2011, 08:09 AM

It is obvious your mom loves her new baby! I will send prayers for your mum and your family.

P.S. Her pup is just too cute!!!
