Beautiful Slideshow – Watch with Sound On

• April 30, 2012

The week before Cassie’s amputation, I had a professional photographer come to the house to take photos.  She made this BEAUTIFUL slideshow of some of the photos she took.  Makes me cry every time I see it. . . 🙂  It is a wonderful tribute to my beautiful girl.  I miss her so. . . […]


She Is Gone

• April 30, 2012

I haven’t been able to bring myself to post this here until now.  On Friday, April 13th, Cassie lost her battle.  Here is what I wrote that evening: Cassie Jean Davis (12/3/99 – 4/13/12) This morning, I said goodbye to my best friend. Her “official” name was Sherborne Cassiopeia, but she was better known as […]


Chemo Starts Tomorrow

• March 19, 2012

We met with the oncologist on Friday, and deciding to go ahead with the chemo treatments was a no-brainer.  He said that average survival rate WITHOUT chemo is 2-3 months.  WITH chemo, the average is 12-15 months.  So I am hopefully optimistic. Our first treatment day is tomorrow.  We are scheduled for a total of […]


Confirmed Osteosarcoma

• March 13, 2012

I suppose I had been hoping that it wouldn’t come back this way, but the biopsy definitely shows osteosarcoma in the leg they removed.  I have an appointment with the oncologist on Friday to discuss options. My heart is heavy.             


Two Weeks Out

• March 8, 2012

Cassie’s amputation was two weeks ago, and she is “turning the corner” in terms of her personality.  While I had seen glimpses of it over the course of our journey, yesterday (the actual 2 week anniversary), she seemed to “come alive”.  She showed more interest in things and she seemed to have more of her […]


Video from Day 3

• March 4, 2012

Thanks everyone for your words of support and encouragement! I’m heading to the grocery store for cottage cheese this afternoon! 🙂 I took a little video of Cassie on Day 3 after surgery.  This was her first time being in the backyard and she surprised me by “taking off”!  Hopefully this will also provide some […]


Cassie’s Courage

• March 4, 2012

Cassie, my 12 year old Belgian Sheepdog (Groenendael), was diagnosed with bone cancer in her front left leg. We amputated the leg on February 22, 2012. We are now beginning the 2nd week after surgery. Cassie has been absolutely incredible. The surgery was on Wednesday and I picked her up on Thursday. When we got […]
