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…

~written with love for Indiana by Carol Roberts (Copyright May 2011)

Charon & Gayle, Ken & Cooper, Elizabeth & Sammy ~

Thank you for your kind words! I am touched by all of you! My Indiana touches my soul with so much love! The love we have for our tripawds is above and beyond love!

*1/14/10 Indiana was first diagnosed…1/28/10 his front left limb was removed….1/19/11 we found out the cancer was in his lungs….

and…6/20/11 is Indy's 10th birthday!!!!

Sending hugs and Indy kisses to all of you xoxo

~~Carol & Indiana~~

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