I have a favor to ask.
Our dog, Angelou, is having surgery today. I say “our” because even though she doesn’t live with me anymore, she lives in my heart. We spent nine years together and leaving her in California was one of the hardest things I have ever done. But I knew that she was in good hands and would be spoiled beyond measure. Mikey and Meagan have taken such good care of her. Even though the vet says her blood work and overall health indicates that she’s very healthy, a recent vet visit showed a mass near her shoulder.
Tests have come back inconclusive so the oncologist is performing surgery today to remove it. Best case scenario is that it’s isolated and if cancer, won’t spread. They remove it and she has many more years of chasing squirrels and keeping watch and barking like a monkey out the car window. Worst case scenario . . . well, I don’t even want to entertain it. I just want her to be okay. So can you help? Can you think good, healthy thoughts for our sweet dog?
We’d all appreciate it.
Thinking good thoughts for Angelou! I remember how devastated I was in December when my little monkey was sick, so I am sending hugs to you, Mikey and Megan, too.
Good luck Angelou! Those squirrels are counting on you to give them exercise!
Best wishes to Angelou, and the rest of you.
She looks like sweet heart. I’m such an animal lover and would be heartbroken if this were my dog Dixie or my cat.
Sending you and Angelou happy and healthy thoughts.
Hope it helps.
Keeping you and Angelou in my thoughts today.
Will definitely think good thoughts.
You know I’m thinking good thoughts! What a cutie!
Aww such a sweet dog
My mother’s dog often has fatty-lumps and they’ve all come back clean when tested so try not to worry too much. It doesn’t have to mean bad things.
I hate it when animals and children get sick. They are just so helpless.
Sending positive thoughts everyone’s way.
You have my undivided positive thoughts for today!
Poor Angelou – what a gorgeous dog!
I’ll keep her, as well as all of you, in my thoughts.
I hope that sweet dog comes through just fine. Wishes for a speedy and milk-bone plenty recovery.
I will be thinking good thoughts.
you’re both in my thoughts, i hope the surgery goes well… XO
Awww. Poor Angelou! My fingers are crossed for you and for her.
Thinking the best thoughts for Miss Lou! I just know the best possible outcome will present for her soon. Good energy coming your way, her way, and the way of your friends in CA who care for her.

so sorry…I will send Angelou positive vibes. I hope it is NOt cancer, but I just want to say Sizzle that I have been through cancer with dogs and seen them live for a long time. There is a lot of hope here.

Sending good thoughts to all of you.
Sending Angelou, and you, positive thoughts. Hope all goes well today!
As a dog owner and lover, of course I am sending loads of good thoughts to the west coast today!
Aw, poor puppy! Consider it done.
I’m sending prayers, thoughts, love, doggie juju and everything else in my bag of tricks.
I just grabbed my retriever and whispered in his ear that we’re on the watch for Angelou’s wellbeing. Muah!
Thining good thoughts for your sweet Angelou!
Oh cute Angelou! Good vibes and thoughts being sent her way (and yours).
I “lost” custody of my dog after my divorce, it has been 10 years and I still think about him. Luckily I get to see a pic of him from my ex from time-to-time. Wishing Angelou good luck!
I’ll hug Pedro a little tighter tonight. We’ll be thinking about you and Angelou.
You bet.
Sending along a multitude of good thoughts and prayers Angelou’s way. Hope all goes well.
Sending good vibes.
Good luck, Angelou!
doing that right now… such a cute doggie!
Lots of prayers for your sweet dog, and for you.
Hope everything has worked out for Angelou!
Poor Angelou! She’ll be in my thoughts! It’s amazing how much our pets can mean to us, even when we don’t live with them anymore.
oh babes, this breaks my heart. We lost Rio to cancer 2 years ago – a dog we’d had for 10 years. I sure hole you get MUCH MUCH better news.
xoxoxoxox
What a beautiful dog. I hope all turns out all right with the surgery.
I love her prancy pants in that first photo. Big hugs and good thoughts abounding.
Sending good vibes to Angelou and you. My 11 year old “captain of my heart” doggie dog has had his share of health issues this year, and I do understand how you feel. Please post when you have an update, and praying for the best from here.
Absotively – hoping and thinking of the best for Angelou.
Angelou is adorable. I hope her surgery went well and she’s doing fabulously. Sending good thoughts!
Oh, no! Poor little thing. I’ll keep her in my thoughts. xoxo
How did it go? Update?
That fact that she is named Angelou alone tugs on my heart strings. (I have a MAJOR thing for Maya Angelou and all of her work.
I will definitely be sending good lovey thoughts towards your sweet dog. I truly hope everything works out alright.
Lots of good thought over here!
Awwww love her! Sending all the good, happy thoughts I can from over here. Much love xx
I’m a little later but I hope everything went well! Hoping the pup heals quickly!
Let us know how everything goes. Was thinking about you guys yesterday.
I had surgery yesterday too. Sending lots of healing vibes to Angelou, Higgy sends lots of doggy hugs and kisses. Hang in there Sizz.
I’m late, too! Oh my! Please tell us everything is ok!
Well, seeing how it’s not a cat, I can probably muster a good thought or two!
Thinking good thoughts over and over and over and . . .
Oh, Lou. Thinking of you!
Thinking good thoughts while simultaneously wondering how I’ve gone my entire life without having had a pet.
I am a couple days late to this post. I am sending good thoughts, she is alright.
I’m late, but I’ve got puppy love to spare.
