EnchantedWoodsGirl	Posted - Mar 14 2008 : 5:23:19 PM One of my older cockers, Sister was checked today for a lump that had developed between groomings. She has some tumors, one larger than the tiny little pea sized lumps - They are mammory tumors. She will have them removed and also be spayed on Tuesday so if you could all please include Sister in your prayers it would really be appreciated. I have changed my mind on getting baby goats, I must take care of my dogs first and foremost. Sister is an angel and I love her soooo much - Thanks Kathy of the Enchanted Wood Kathy of the Enchanted Wood Farmgirl Sister #59 http://enchantedwoodmusings.blogspot.com/

EnchantedWoodsGirl	Posted - Mar 25 2008 : 5:05:57 PM Jo you have to read this book Country Living Gardener A Blessing of Toads: A Gardener's Guide to Living with Nature (Country Living Gardener): Sharon Lovejoy Maybe you already have it? It is delightful to read, I love Sharon Lovejoy! Let me know if you have it or have read it :) K Kathy of the Enchanted Wood Farmgirl Sister #59 http://enchantedwoodmusings.blogspot.com/
Hideaway Farmgirl	Posted - Mar 25 2008 : 12:52:31 PM My wonderful Mom gifted me with my choice of garden books from Amazon; specifically, Herb Gardens. I selected half a dozen books to add to my Herb Library and have devoured them this past winter, so I am ready and anxious to plant seeds and plants in another few weeks.

EnchantedWoodsGirl	Posted - Mar 25 2008 : 11:51:06 AM Jo not sure what the heck happened, probably a dog or cat hair in my eye - and here I am always joking about not dying from hairballs - I am a mess girl - what good garden books have you been reading dear Jo?

vintagegrl	Posted - Mar 25 2008 : 07:16:23 AM Kathy, I just read this thread now. I'm glad that Sister is doing better. I hope your eye soon starts feeling better as well.
Hideaway Farmgirl	Posted - Mar 25 2008 : 07:05:08 AM Oh, Kathy - sorry to hear you were in the ER! How the heck did you get corneal scratches? By rubbing your eye when the hair was stuck in there? OUCH! Hoep you are on the mend now, too! Jo "Wish I had time to work with herbs all day!"
EnchantedWoodsGirl	Posted - Mar 24 2008 : 10:44:17 AM Sister is coming along fine - every day she is healing nicely and so far is not bothering the incision except for the occasional itch. I however spent the better part of Saturday in the ER- alone of course as hubby did not drive me - woke up with bad pain behind right eye and blurry vision - corneal scratches and dr removed a foreign body (too bad it wan't johnny depp's body) was a hair, probably a cat or dog one I am sure.

Lainey	Posted - Mar 24 2008 : 09:18:26 AM Kathy, glad to hear she will be ok. Praying for you and Sister. Hugs! Farmgirl Sister #25 http://countrygirldreams.blogspot.com/
Hideaway Farmgirl	Posted - Mar 21 2008 : 07:24:45 AM Thanks for the update; glad she is home and on the mend now! Jo "Wish I had time to work with herbs all day!"
EnchantedWoodsGirl	Posted - Mar 20 2008 : 4:06:19 PM Update on Sister - She has come home today - we left her an extra night after the vet and I tried to get her in the car and she had some blood from incision. Her incision is huge and very bruised and she is on a lot of pain meds but is coming along nicely. She if very happy to be home! They called with biopsy results today and it was benign thank God and Goddess - it apparently there was some cystic material as well as the nodules. It will take a long time for this to heal, but it is all behind her now. Thank you for all of your prayers, they have helped, as you can see!

Annab	Posted - Mar 19 2008 : 03:18:55 AM Relieved to know Sister came thruogh alright! I'm sure the day was long for you. Bet a small portion of the weight was lifted for sure We'll continue praying the tumor is benign!
Aunt B	Posted - Mar 18 2008 : 9:33:27 PM My prayers are with you and your doggie. How attached we all become to our little furry children. I trully adore mine and I know you do too.
EnchantedWoodsGirl	Posted - Mar 18 2008 : 08:45:06 AM The surgery was pretty extensive as the tumor was a triangle shape and required difficult stitching. The spay went fine - Sister will be staying over with a morphine drip till some time late tomorrow and will come home with an E collar to keep her from bothering the stitche areas. We have sent out a biopsy - please pray that it is not a malignant type of cancer. She was a real trooper, and I had the best dr in the practice do the surgery. The cost did go up though and was over $1000 - but they are my children so I had better get more stuff listed on ebay and more books listed on Abebooks and Alibris. She did not want me to leave her this morning, very hard to leave them. Pray for my Sister dog please! Kathy of the Enchanted Wood Farmgirl Sister #59 http://enchantedwoodmusings.blogspot.com/
Utahfarmgirl	Posted - Mar 17 2008 : 11:08:44 AM Kathy, you know what to do - blue light! love, Patricia Proud Farmgirl Sister #19 Rusty Chicks Chapter check out my etsy site http://ThePlayfulFarmgirl.etsy.com Today I choose faith not fear.
EnchantedWoodsGirl	Posted - Mar 17 2008 : 10:34:51 AM Thanks Anna - She eats Pro Plan Chicken and Rice food - I feed all of my dogs that. I breed cockers spaniels and she is retired and was getting spayed regardless - I know that vets tell you that spaying them early prevents mammary cancer but it does not - I have seen enough cases of it - but spaying them is important just the same. I believe that like people, dogs are predisposed to cancer. I pray it is benign. Thanks for your prayers and suggestions.

Annab	Posted - Mar 17 2008 : 06:56:07 AM Good luck I'm a firm believer in the power of prayer even for animals Hope your furbaby goes through surgery ok For us in the wholistic rhelm I'll pass this along to you. Tumors feed on carbohydrates. When your dog recovers, think about switcing her food to 1. higher quality (non-mainstream if you can) and 2. more protein based rahter than starchy Good that you are finally getting her spayed!
AmyEllen	Posted - Mar 14 2008 : 9:59:43 PM Will be praying for you all. I hope she is and feeling better really soon after surgery. Hugs Amy My Blog http://lifenkansas.blogspot.com/ Amore Schnauzers http://amoreschnauzers.blogspot.com/
