Indy touches my soul as I pray for one more miracle

We received very sad news on 1/19/11 after having Indy’s lungs ex-rayed for his “one -year” check-up. I knew that this day would come, but  didn’t want to focus on it, as I wanted to enjoy and cherish each and every day of our boy’s life that we were given. It has been a miracle that we have had him this long and we are so thankful to have this very special time to give & receive so much love…

Indy’s lung ex-rays now show that the cancer is back. The cells that were originally microscopic when we he was first diagnosed, have developed into large tumors. (2 right now). When the osteosarcoma attacks one area ~ it immediately spreads to the lungs…and waits… It could re-surface at any time… It usually does not “wait” this long to attack again, as it is one of the most aggressive cancers that there is.  We have been truly blessed, and then some, that it waited one year to attack.  The doctors told us that he may have weeks or maybe a month…and if we have another miracle…maybe even a couple of months… We are grateful for every single day that we have him by our side…He is our blessing, and my soul dog… 

He is doing amazing right now – you would never know he was sick…He pulls us into the snow so he can “frolic”, he still wants to go for his walks, he still so enjoys relaxing in the big pile of snow that we call his “snow bed”!( We keep ¾ of our good size deck covered in snow.) We give our Indy a winter wonderland!

We have to pray that Indy does not feel pain and that he lives life to its fullest ~ as he always does. We will do everything in our power to be sure he is comfortable and give him extra doses of love, hugs & kisses which he already has been getting a steady dose of (his whole life and then some) !

I feel like I do not ever want to leave his side…I don’t want to miss one minute of his love…one minute of his sweet kisses and the way he puts his paw on our hand as we hug him, the amazing voice he has when he says “I love you” and talks to his heart’s content…and how he enjoys his singing and howling…I hold on to the way he looks at us ~ with so much love, how he counts to 10 ~ and how he always is by our side no matter what part of the house we are in… he has  “bright eyes and a bushy tail that is so adorable as it curls, the list goes on….… He is one happy Siberian husky that we love with all of our hearts!!!!

I am heartbroken and beyond… I write this with tears and sadness – but much joy ~ we still have Indiana to love…I pray even more than ever….please give us one more day…

Indiana, our snow dog is in his glory

Indiana, our snow dog has been in his glory for the past couple of weeks with all of this snow! I have spent pretty much every day sitting outside for hours – all bundled up with my boy!  I will do everything I can to make him happy and to give him the best life ever xoxo

For those of you who are visiting Indiana’s Love for the first time ~ welcome and please visit often, as I still have to update his story on the links to the right…I will try to work on it very soon….  Thank you everyone for understanding, as this is my first blog & I am still learning!

Our prayers have been answered ~ Our boy ~Indiana has beat the odds for one year today!

Words can’t describe how blessed I am that we still have our Indiana with us today! With guidance from my wonderful husband, I was able to create this beautiful video of our Indiana.  Enjoy!!!! I had many tears and smiles throughout its creation! I pray for the gift of one more day for as many days possible xoxo

May this New Year bring more hope and most of all… miracles

Happy New Year to all of you wonderful tripawds and their parents! I want to thank each and every one of you who have commented on my posts so far. I haven’t been on the Tripawd blogs very often due to my very busy schedule. I still would love to finish up “Indy’s Story” on the right side of this blog in the very near future… I also would love the chance to read your loving posts and get to know you and make some comments too! xoxo Indy is technically a ONE YEAR survivor – though we chose the date he was diagnosed on 1/14/10 to be the “date”.  On that date I will post a tribute to our most wonderful Siberian husky in the world! Stay tuned xoxo
