Pixie has been our family companion for the past eight years. She came to us as a rescue dog from the Delaware Valley golden rescue organization in Pa. We waited a year to adopt her and we have been gifted by her presence. I feel that this is the second time that she has been with me in this lifetime. The first time was when I was a child and we only knew her for 1 year. My husband and I have heard what she has been thinking many times. Sometimes, we speak with other animal communicators and sometimes, we allow ourselves to trust what we hear from her.
We learned that her first two years of life were difficult for her and this has affected her health. By the time that she came to us, she was very shy, digestion was compromised and she was wary of strangers and loud noises. About four years ago, she was diagnosed with Mast Cell tumors which are common to golden retrievers. Our vet suggested that we do surgery and take off the tumor. We chose not to since sometimes this surgery exacerbates the tumors and they spread more quickly . At that time, we changed her diet to raw meat and veggies . This is a big undertaking since we had two golden retrievers, about 55 pounds each. They like to eat their two meals every single day. ALso, we tried a variety of healing herbal remedies as well which she tolerated amicably.
After I returned from Sedona on September 19th, it was clear that the tumor had grown larger. I took her into the vet and was told she needed surgery soon. We scheduled the surgery for that Friday and I cried. Then I called Whitney Taylor, the animal communicator that we work with and scheduled an appointment to talk. We weren't surprised that she already knew about the surgery and was very optimistic that things would go well. Pixie has had her surgery, she has been healing for about 12 days and is looking forward to running really fast again.
Big hugs to Pixie, and to Audrey, too. I remember when you first brought her home and you were all figuring out how to incorporate her into your family along with your first Golden.
ReplyDeleteI hope you all do well! how's your other puppy dealing with it? yes, I know your other dog's grown, but to me they're all puppies!at
Thanks to both you and to Pixie, for showing amazing new avenues to grow and learn from each other.
ReplyDeleteSo glad things went well, Pixie. Hope you are running around again soon.
Love and Head Scritches.
pixie is very grateful for your "well wishes" She is really doing very well and has healed nicely. In fact, we had our first post surgery walk today and it was fabulous. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteRoxie, the other one, was not happy that Pixie was not able to play for two weeks. She had sympathetic pains and struggles during the entire time. It is awesome having two wonderful and connected dogs.
