BACK SEAT COMPANION
I had to get my 16yr old dog to the vet this morning because his leg was swollen and he could barely walk. This is me in the back seat of my friend's car, comforting my best friend Manny. He has watched over me for so long, now it's my turn to watch over him. I'm terrified of losing him! The vet said cancer or a snake bite and we won't know until the swelling goes down. Drugs have already helped with the pain. I'm praying he comes out ok!

I'm so sorry that Manny is in pain. I am hoping for the best possible outcome from the vet once the swelling subsides.
Love the slideshow at the top of your sidebar!
My heart goes out to you Tammy. I had the same experience with my dog so I know the anguish you are going through. Let's hope the vet can put things right. You take care.
Oh NOOooooo! I am sending good luck vibes to Manny right now. This picture is so nice though, aslide from what it means. I hope all turns out well for you and Manny.

Hi Tammy,
I add my best wishes for you and your best friend, Manny.
Your back yard is so colorful and lush, the wedding will be stunning.

Oh no! Dogs are so loving and innocent that it's heartbreaking when they're sick or in pain. Sending lots and lots of good thoughts to you and Manny.
(((((((Manny&Tammy)))))))) love and prayers, I'll be thinking of You!!! xoxoxox
i understand your fear - oh, have i been there! i lost my babies at ages 18 and 15 - the most painful losses in my life so far.
sending so many good wishes to manny - that his foot heals. wishes that it was just a snakebite. did they give him preds and an anti-biotic? i am glad you are already seeing good results. that sounds positive to me.
i tried to post a comment on the ALS advocacy post, but somehow it didn't work - so let me say that your work is so admirable, tammy. you are such an inspiration to so many. i admire you so much! good job you are doing in helping others and in assuring your own best health. your own medical journey is a record setting adventure, isn't it?
GOOD FOR YOU!!!
your garden is lovely - the haiku remains delightful to read...your poetic talents abound. i am sure the wedding will be beautiful and cannot wait to see the photos.

Hope Manny has a good report and is feeling better soon! Thinking of you both during this tough time, my friend. Big hug! xo
Your in my thoughts - good luck!
Keeping you both, in my thoughts and prayers.
Oh, Tammy! I am so sorry!
I am praying too, for you both! I love you and give Manny lots of kisses from me:)
xoxo
Manny looks like he is SMILING! BTW, I love the new pics on your new slideshow/magnifying glass thingy.
Thanks for the comment on my first self portrait. On my regular blog today I announced that my cat is missing. I know how you feel about your dog. Would devastated be too strong a word? Not for me and Clarkie....
oh sweetie, i hope he's okay - look at his little face, he's adorable! i'm sending you both lots of love and light :-) x
Thank goodness for pain killers!
I hope it gets better fast fast fast.
Love to you and the pup.
I hope he's okay too.
oh i am thinking about the two of you. i hope he is fine my dear.
an ill pet is scary...i know this feeling.
blessings to you both
Tammy, this is a great photo, but I'm so sad for your companion, your friend. I'll be thinking of you both!
cancer OR a snakebite?!?
um, thanks doctor...
geesh.
i hope he's okay! it looks like you guys are great friends. ;)
I hope Manny is okay! I have two dogs of my own, and I can't imagine losing them. Let us know how everything turns out. We will be praying that it's something that can be easily taken care of. And btw, I love the pic. :)
Oh! i am saying a prayer fo ryou and your doggy. There is nothing in the world lieka good doggy friend...
oxox
:)
I hope all went okay at the vet. that is such a gorgeous pic of you two.
Tammy...I hope Manny is ok! Last year my parents' six-month old Annabelle, suddently became seriously ill and I think the most difficult thing about it for me was that she didn't know what was going on (she slowly went blind), and all I wanted to do was comfort her. My prayers are with you and Manny.
Prayers for Manny; hugs for Tammy.

What a sweetheart your dog is...and look at how much love you have for him! I wish dogs could live forever. And I hope Manny lives to be at least 20!
That photo radiates love.
