Update on Taffy...

Not a great deal to report other than Taffy got some morphine today & will have more of the remaining tumor removed tomorrow along with chemo...not outta the woods, still in the valley, but looking up towards the sun!

He's home...

Taffy had surgery yesterday to remove most of the tumor...there is just a bit above his eye...looks awful, but much of it was removed & he will be able to see out of his eye. He needs to heal up this week & then we fight like hell next week to kill the remaining cancer. Thank you for your continued thoughts & prayers. We love our boy so much.

Taffy Scheduled for Surgery...

Taffy is scheduled for surgery in the morning, he had to stay the night at the vets as they weren't able to get to his surgery today & will do the surgery 1st thing in the morning to remove a large portion of his tumor. He is also on an IV of chemo drugs...we are at war with his bone cancer.
The 2nd photo is a current commission I am working on of a sad looking Bassett on top of a vintage suitcase. Stay tuned for the end result! ;) If you are interested in having a portrait done feel free to contact me!

Bernese Mountain Dog Painting in OIL & Update on Taffy

Just finished this Bernese Mountain Dog painting which will be available in my store on etsy or if you are interested in purchasing it feel free to contact me! Taffy is still in his fight against bone cancer...it's been pretty rough this past week, he doesn't want to eat much and the tumor has gone thru his cheekbone and into his mouth. Meds have been difficult to get in at times, so much so that when he does not want to take them by mouth we have to give them the other way...I know, not pretty but if it means saving his life, well you just do it. Thank you for your contiued prayers & if you are interested in having a portrait done or know of anyone please feel free to contact me and/or pass along my name. God bless!

Vinny the Schnauzer & an Update on Taffy

A recent commission I just finished of a Schnauzer named Vinny & a photo of our Taffy...still battling bone cancer...the tumor continues to die, Taffy continues to fight for life. Thank you for your prayers & support. If you or anyone you know is interested in a pet portrait feel free to contact me!

Westie with Pink Spode & Update on Taffy

Just finished the Westie portrait I've been working on, although I need to get a better photo tomorrow once the sun appears...Taffy is still battling bone cancer...we go back to the Oncologist this Wednesday...trying not to be discouraged, but we just want to start seeing the tumor shrink & so far it hasn't much.

Westie with Pink Spode & Update on Taffy

A cropped version of a Westie painting I am almost finished with...and the best way to update you on how Taffy is doing I think is thru video, check it out on youtube :)

Still Fighting...

Back from Oncologist...she removed the center of the tumor, 


drained some of it, & gave another injection of 


Neoplasene...Taffy is resting quietly, still under anesthesia,

while the tumor continues to drain. He's a fighter. ♥

Fighting Cancer Isn't Pretty. . .

The top two are Taffy, the bottom is Jedha who had a cancerous pimple & was also injected with Neoplasene....the cancer cells died & fell off last night! Now it will heal & close up & eventually the same will happen with Taffy. Thank you for your continued prayers!

Destroying the Tumor & Saving Taffy's Life...

We went to the Oncologist today & they injected the bone with Neoplasene and the tumor some more...it ruptured this afternoon which is good! It will continue to drain & eventually fall off & only leave healthy tissue behind. Praying his eye will be ok...but praying more that his life will be saved! God, we need a miracle.
