AWE MAN, I'm so sorry Kelly, I hope he's ok

Can do kelly....hope it all works out!!!!

Cant wait to see your wip pics!!!

Will have you in my thoughts tomorrow!
It'll be good to see you posting again!

How scary for you..I wish you calm and peace tomorrow and me and my 2 dogs are sending good vibes to your precious baby!

OH Kelly How scary for you and pup. Good thoughts from me and our two pups too. Please let us know wneh you can. I understand the first born thing. They really are not just dogs.

Surgeons are amazing these days, plenty of technology! I'm rooting for ya! (Ican't live without my lil grandpuppy!)

Thinking of your and your baby...I pray all turns out well.

I missed this yesterday. Will send all the prayers today! I hope all goes well? I lost my baby in March due to cancer and understand the "first-born" very well. Mine was not only first born but only child.
I hope you and your pup are surrounded with all our prayers and kept safe. God bless you both.

I completely understand. Our fur kids are our children. Prayers sent. Pray for a speedy recovery.

Hi, Kelly. I hope all goes well today. The doctors in Columbia are AWESOME! I've known a couple people who have rushed their dogs there from the St. Louis area because they are so qualified. (hugs)

My two girls (our sweetheart/devil Labs) and I are pulling for your little dog. I think so many of us understand the total love for our animals.

My heart goes out to you .... Vets are wonderful now - what seems horrible to us - is routine to them. Best wishes from me and my 3 dogs.

Molly says woof-woof!! ( good luck!!)

One of the vet students called me to let me know that he did awesome in surgery toay!! (I fell like I can breathe again) He did better than any other dog they have ever had that had this surgery. Does that make sense?!? They didn't see anything abnormal in his chest. Which is good...but...we still don't know what is causing fluid to build up on his lungs and heart. They took out his peri-ocardio sac (like I know how to spell that!) and took pieces of a lot of things to send off to histo- something or other. We won't know for a week if he has cancer (which if he does, we caught it incredibly early) we won't know for a month if he has a fungal infection. All I wanted to know today was that he made it through surgery ok. You prayers were sooooo felt today. And the thoughts from everyone furkids, too. (I loved to hear that everyone's furry family members were sending the vibes; he sure must have felt them.) One of the worst things about this is that he is 4 hours away having all this stuff done and now (thankfully) recovering, and I have to stay at home and go to work. $omething ha$ to pay that bill!$! Again thank you so much for everything that you did! This has reminded me that life is short -everyone's life- and so I need to enjoy it more and let work STAY at work. So new life plan:

1. Family/Friends/Furbabies
2. Health
3. Mosaics!!!

Bless your heart. Mine aches for you and my prayers are w/you and your baby.

Here is a pic of my little Rizzo! Not the best, but sometimes it is tricky to locate pics on my computer. I save stuff in weird places thinking that if it is weird enough, of course I'll remember where I put it. Duh.

ahh how cute...glad to hear he has pst the first hurdle. Thanks for the pics.
Our prayers are still with you for a speedy recovery and no caner or fungal infection!!!

I'm so glad you kept us updated...I was thinking about him all day and glad to hear he made it through the first hurdle! We're keeping our fingers and paws crossed for NO cancer and NO infection on ANY kind!
p.s he is such a cutie-pie!

I'm way behind on reading some posts...so sorry to hear about little Rizzo......but happy to hear that Rizzo is going to be fine.......may he continue to recover..!

What a sweet little baby. I hope he's coming home soon. Being around you will help his recovery.

Aww Kelly, I'm trying to catch up on 5 days of posts and when I read this I just had to say that I'm glad to see that your cutie Rizzo came through surgery okay. I pray that you recieve good news soon that there is no cancer or fungus infections.
I miss your postings...darn school just gets in the way of fun, doesn't it?

Barb (and my furball, Missy!)

Prayers and hugs from us,too! Going thru a similar thing with our big guy right now.....when I can emotionaly do it, will post on the conversations side.

In the meantime, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Pat & Gary-my DH and our furbabies: Poco, Princess, Beau, Bud, Rusty, Punkin, Spooky, CleoKatra, Lucky, Gracie, Rocky, Bubba & Ariel

Awww, what a cutie. Hope he feels better.
