Indiana, the most loveable Siberian Husky, is my soul dog and has been beating the odds against osteosarcoma for almost 17 months. He was cancer-free, as far as we knew, for one year. At his one-year check up in January, we found out his cancer returned to his lungs and he was given only a few weeks…(We were so devastated once again! ) Here it is almost 5 months later and we still have him by our sides to embrace & love… He has had a month full of ups & downs and he has given us a few scares. He started this month off with 3 really good days! Our miracle dog never ceases to amaze us. It has inspired me to write and I will continue to write as it is my passion along with my tripawd! Come visit Indy's Tripawds Blog ~ Indiana's Love!
Sharing a poem I wrote as I sat by my Indiana the other day… the love of my life….as I pray he continues to beat he odds xoxo
May you find comfort in reading this…may you all hope for a miracle..because they do happen – no matter how big or small they are – embrace every moment xo

 As I sit by your side
As I sit by your side, day after day
Embracing your love, and hoping you’ll stay…
I think of your life and how blessed we are
You are so amazing, our shining star…
I see you getting tired, I miss when we play
But all I wish, is to have one more day…
One more day of Indy kisses, and happy songs that you sing
One more day of your love, and such joy that you bring…
I hold on so tight, with tears in my eyes
I am not ready, to say our final goodbyes…
As I sit by your side, I pray and pray
For you to feel good, and to stay another day…

and…6/20/11 is Indy's 10th birthday!!!!
Sending hugs and Indy kisses to all of you xoxo

P.S. Indy's doctor told me to use the day of diagnosis for the "beating the odds" count!
