Spike needs your help!
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.

Update..Not a happy one
Yesterday my entire life was turned upside again, as we had to rush Spike off to the emergency vets only to find out that he has a body full of stones..He's 10, so of course people and the vet were negative about surgery and options, but he's not ready to go yet and we arent ready to let him go. Tomorrow we get the results back from the vet and see if anything else is wrong and how his kidneys are..basically to see if the surgery he will have to have to have them all removed will be feasible..hearing that killed the last bit of light i had left in me..nothing else has gone right since we left the military this past october. We can barely keep food on the table, never mind pay our mortgage and utilities, having a growing teenage son is quite a task in itself..Spike is more than a pet to us, he's our foundation, our light...He gives me reason to hold after all that he has been through, and all we have been through together. I have no right to ask anyone for anything, but I cannot accept losing faith or hope that this will work out. We would trade everything to have one more Christmas with him.Spike for Christmas, thats our christmas wish..If you can share or even donate a dollar and help, we would be forever grateful and continue to raise awareness and funds for K9 Glaucoma, as well as to continue helping those in need. Thank you so much for taking time to read this..Just not much for words on such little sleep..Bless you and yours!

Busy as a bee!!
You know that saying, "Busy as a bee!" I have totally been living that since we last posted. I know i know im horrible but so much has happened and changed that its hard to try and keep up with everything and everyone. Spike is doing well still, we have managed to keep his right eye still free from the glaucoma, and the left one that is blind, while getting scratched occasionally, more often than not looks normal. Sometimes we forget he's half blind! It's so important that we put K9 Glaucoma awareness on the front burner, I know that its easy to get wrapped up in so many things, but for families like mine, who struggle just to barely get by and take care of their fur babies, life is tougher with the burden of diseases like glaucoma. We often find ourselves in a position where we can't donate money and think we cant help..I can't even begin to tell you how wrong you are. The research humans have on diseases of the eyes, like glaucoma, is ongoing and well funded, whereas our fur children are left to little to no research, and that my friends is due to lack of funding and awareness. So as I struggle to put my human life back in order, after falling apart,I'm jumping head first once again into K9 Angel corps, there are far too many animal lovers out there, who should be standing by our sides and getting the word out. Look out world, we're back in business!! Have a blessed night/morning!
