Hi Dan,
I am glad you received the supplements from Suzi, but very sorry to hear that Kobe is not doing very well. It is such a difficult time when you see your beloved puppy in distress and see an "end" to that once healthy life. My prayers are with you.
I am not posting any longer but will continue to come to the site and read any personal notes so that I can respond. I was told that people whose dogs have died from cancer should no longer be part of this group.I think I have done all I can and it is time to move on.
Blessings, to you and Kobe and your wife,
Joanne & Shadow

Hi Joanne,
We kind of stopped in the middle of a post, so I wasn't sure again if you are receiving my replies. This is a test to see if you have. Let me know.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan,
I did get this message but not any others recently. How is Kobe doing? I was wondering if Suzi has helped you at all by sending supplements etc.
I sometimes send private messages an NEVER hear so I don't know if I am doing it right either.
Glad to hear from you. Please keep me posted.

Blessings,
Joanne and Shadow

Hi Joanne,
I have sent a couple of messages and didn't hear back. I am not sure if I am using this site correctly. It is a bit confusing how to reply and respond. Please let me know if you get this message.
Thanks,
Dan

Dear Dan,
I am so glad that Suzi has been in touch with you. she has had many challenges in her life and continues to have them but despite that she reaches out with care, concern and much help. You can read a small amount of her story on her website, but she doesn't go into the depth of what ARDS has done to her life. She had to retrain herself to do everything and she has gone above and beyond what most of us ever accomplish in our lives.
Glad to hear that Kobe is doing okay and at least eating something.
I know exactly the stage you are at right now and yes, it very difficult. Some days are so good and others not so good, but with love and support from others you do make it through all those days.

God Bless You as you face this difficult journey one step at a time. Prayers are with you, candles are lit each evening.

Hugs,
Joanne & Shadow

Hi Joanne,
Thank you for asking. Kobe is doing ok. He is still energetic and happy. His appetite is still good, although lately he is not interested in food until mid-day or later. But overall he seems to be doing well.
I did hear from Suzi. Thank you so much for that. Like you said, she is an Angel. She will be sending me some things for Kobe, and has already sent info that is helpful. We have discussed her issues. What a trooper. And to think she devotes her time to helping others in the face of her own challenges. There is a special reward and place for people like that.

Thank you so much for your care and concern, Joanne. It is a comfort during a difficult time.

May God richly bless you,

Dan

Hi Dan,
Just checking in to see how things are going with your Kobe. Did you hear from Suzi? She is quite busy right now and does have some health problems but I am sure she will do whatever she can to help. This is all so tough.

God Bless you my friend.

Hugs to Kobe. A very unfair disease.

Warmly,
Joanne

Dear Dan,
I would like to have you as a friend here. If I can be of any help don't hesitate to ask. Have hope and continue to fight for Kobe. Sometimes there are miracles!! Hope Kobe is one of them!!

Warmly,
Joanne & Shadow
