A blog dedicated to my amazing and sweet dog "Spike" Recently diagnosed with primary glaucoma, SPike has a long and painful road ahead him, that ultimately will lead to a life of darkness. This blog is to help promote awareness, share updates and information, and to help me get through each day as best I can.

Thankful Thursday!!
Today is thankful thursday!! We are thankful today for the blessings we have been given, including our food, shelter, and family. We are grateful to have built a powerful network and support group that helps to get the word out about K9 glaucoma! Most of all we are thankful for you!!
Diet change and odds and ends!
This has been one of the busiest weeks I have had in quite some time. Spike is still struggling with these continuously emerging fatty cysts even with a change in the dog food we buy so its time to put him on an organic diet as well. I have been reading article after article about adding turmeric to his diet and have been rather leery. At this point, I want to see him getting better and not worse, so time to dig further into research. Most anyone who knows me, knows that I am heavily into holistic therapies and treatments, I just haven't done much in the way of research for the pet side of this field. Also his 'good" eye seems to have cleared up a bit and looks healthy again, still going to have to keep an eye on it. I'm busy working on some new collars for K9 glaucoma awareness, photos coming soon!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!
This weekend I've been busy doing research for assignments for both colleges, keeping up with the anti-monsanto stuff, and trying to keep poor spike comfortable. The cysts are growing pretty quick, and even though the vet say they are just fatty and non cancerous, it doesnt make him any more comfortable. Anyways, I have drawn up a variety of designs for the K9 Angel Corps, and even working on some fancy earth friendly pet jewelry. So yep, we're pretty busy, but gettin things done. Just gotta take one day at a time. Have a safe and great weekend!

Thankful Thursday!!!
Today is Thursday, so to get back on track, that means it thankful Thursday!! Yay! Today we are thankful for the eye drops we still have managed to pay for, that help to keep spike's eye on a semi good road. We are thankful for all of those in Oklahoma who managed to survive that horrific ordeal. There is no limit to the love, support, and hopes for a quick recovery all of you and your families deserve. We are thankful f course for each other, for our health, and for the opportunity to help others who face the same dark journey that we have. And we are thankful for each and every one of you to keep the word about our group going, and helping us to build the support we need. You have no idea how amazing and important each of you are to us. From my family to yours have a very thankful end to your own Thursday!

It's been a while but we're back!!
Between my own personal health issues, spike trying to recover from his eye surgery, to now having to fight glaucoma in addition to a dozen tumors throughout his whole body, time has slipped away. I have done my best to keep our facebook page up to date, but now it's time to get things back on track. So here we are!! The K9 Angel Corps has it's own .com domain now! Exciting yes?! Over the next few days and weeks we'll be working hard to change out our previous website and fine tune it to meet the needs of all persons and families who have had or currently has a little four legged buddy with a diagnosis of canine glaucoma. Whether you are facing or have faced primary or secondary glaucoma, our mission is clear and forever the same. We plan on dedicating the rest of our lives to promoting awareness, research, resources and support to all those who have had their lives touched by this cruel disease. Maybe one day, together, we can help find a cure and no dog will ever have live in a dark world again. Here is the link to our new website:
