UPDATE - Sadie is home and is tucked up with a hot bottle! She had a small feed at the vet and she has had a totter around the kitchen so we're both happy. A vet nurse of 30 years friend of mine has just dropped in and thinks that she looks fantastic considering everything that she has gone through. Thank you to everyone for your very kind thoughts. Who knows how long Sadie will be with us but the important thing is that she can enjoy her life for as long as her the spots on her liver will let her xxx I've sent lots of photos to the lovely Melissa from the Oldies Club that I took last night and today so hopefully they'll be up for everyone to see.

UPDATE - the vet called me an hour ago and she was really stable throughout the operation and has had her spleen taken out. As expected, there are small spots of the tumour and these are on her liver. The vet and I took the decision that as she is so well in every other way is to take out the spleen and give her a great quality of life until the cancer takes hold, which could be a month, a year who knows. I took her for a walk this morning in the woods and she was very lively so she's not ready to go yet. Hopefully she'll come home tonight. I'll keep you all updated and thank you so much for your support.

Hello everyone Thank you SO much for all your good wishes for Sadie (and a special thank you to Mel for helping me with IT so I can post here!). I can't believe that she is so ill - she's so bright eyed and waggy tailed and when we came back from the vets today we went on our favourite walk in the woods and she jumped over a log!! A month ago she was so rickety on her back legs so I'm trying to think that she did that to show that she's going to fight. She's been a very picky eater for the past 2 weeks and has had a bad tummy for a week so the signs were there in retrospect. She has had her favourite tea tonight - chicken, rice and lots of ham (I know ham isn't great but I use it to get down her anti-inflammotries and it's her favourite thing ever, so just this once....) and we've watched t v in front of the fire and wrapped Christmas presents. I so so hope that she will still be here on Christmas Day. Word has got round the village that she's not very well and she's had lots of visitors -which she loves. Her favourite place is in my office at home - she leads the way and always has to enter first and go straight to her bed. She then snores and sighs the morning away and loves it when a client comes as that means attention! Anyway, we're going to go to bed once she's had a chance to go to the loo again - her tummy is still really bad and it's horrible to see her straining, and then we'll get up early and go for a walk before we go to the vets. I'll take photos of her playing in the woods and hopefully when I report back, I can still say that she's looking forward to playing again. Thank you so much again and I'll be logging on to distance healing xxx
