I'm sorry to hear that. Not sure I understand why. Since this site is for support, it only makes sense that those who have been through this before are able to help those who haven't. Your postings and encouragement have been such a help. Just look at the advice I have received. If you want to email me, you can contact me at dryan777@roadrunner.com.

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,

Thank you for your kind comments on Kobe's pics. Yes, he is a beautiful dog. Everywhere I take him, on walks, in the car, at the vet, he gets comments from people about how beautiful he is.

Suzi did send the supplements. She sent Artemisinin, Jingli Neixiao, and Reishi. She recommended some others like VaryBerry and to get him on West Coast Canine Life Cancer Formulation.

Kobe is showing signs of decline. He does not eat or act normal unless he is on pain killers. He also is losing the use of his left and back legs. He has blood coming out of his urine, and this morning he threw up. It is a roller coaster of emotions. One day he is better, the next day he is struggling.

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,
Hope you are doing well. I posted some pics of Kobe on my profile. He isn't doing too well, and he may be very close to leaving us. We are doing everything we can. Thought you might enjoy the pics. He is such an amazing dog.

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 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
