Happy Blessed New Years Eve 2013..

From all of us here at the K9 Angel Corps, we want to take a minute to thank all of our new friends, twitter followers, and Angels for helping to get us through this past year.  We, like so many, are more than ready to let this year go and begin the new one!...I know it's been a while since we have posted, we've been so busy with our personal health woes, and Spike struggling with head to toe cysts, that time just got away from us..However, we are in the process of creating some fun og and cat collars, as well as other handmade goodies for your fur baby that will help us to raise not only awareness to K9 glaucoma, but also to help us raise funds to help other families struggling with the same.  As far as Spikes personal update goes, it looks like we're going to have to pay for the surgery to remove his blind eye after all..It just keeps getting infected, and as much as I want to hold onto him and he always looked, his comfort is more important.  That's it for now folks..Be safe!!

TGIF!!

Happy Friday!

Spike and I just dropped in to give yall a quick update since it's been so busy around here.  His blind eye is still struggling with inflammation and ongoing infections, while his remaining seeing eye is glaucoma free!! Yay! We count our blessings every day, and grateful for every moment we have him in our lives.  At 12 yrs aof age, he's lived a wonderful life and we look forward to spending whatever time has left making him feel on top of the world.  

We hope today brings you peace, love, light, and joy and we wil upload photos and more updates very soon..

Blessings!

July 13th, 2013 update

Hey everyone!!! Please forgive me for not having updated everyone for quite some time.  Between going to two colleges, tending to spike, and both my husband and my son turning new ages over the next few days things have been hectic and somehow time has slipped away.  So here's the update on spike..Spike's blind eye is still struggling with eye infection after infection but his good eye is still free from Glaucoma!! The longer we hold it off the better! However, time is just unkind to him, as his entire body from head to paws is covered in cysts many of which are so huge and spreading out quickly.  While they arent cancerous, because of his age they wont remove them and some of them are in places that make it hard to move or lay down.  Please continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers <3

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!

It's Friday!!!

Happy Friday to all you Angels!! Lots of school work to do, so other than that we're going to just take it easy and try to get un-sick..this flu thing is really killing me.  Wherever you are and whatever your doing, please stay safe and have a great holiday weekend!
