Subject: BS: Good Thoughts-Angus the WonderMutt
From: JenEllen
Date: 02 Jan 03 - 07:33 PM

Hi all;
Just got through explaining my scarcity all the news to kat and figured the easiest way was to pass along to all the "FOA" club at once.
In the middle of holiday preparations (okay, we were polishing up his rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus) I noticed a small pink mark on Angus's mouth. It has quickly grown, and since then, we've done all the MRI's and bloodwork and stuff, and the earliest diagnosis is one of cancer.
A dear friend is going to help me out (payment for copying my pharmacology notes in school) and remove the mouth tumor this weekend. We should get the biopsy results back next week, but it's still a pretty tense time.
Angus, to his doggy credit, is putting up with all the added poking and prodding. He still manages to sing like Tina Turner and howl out a mean "Waltzing With Bears", but for some reason has taken to listening to Merle's "Silver Wings". I don't ask.
Anyhow, keep your collective fingers crossed, and I'll let you know how it goes.
~JE
If it be the chief point of friendship to comply with a friend's motions and inclinations, he possesses this in an eminent degree; he lies down when I sit, and walks when I walk, which is more than many good friends can pretend to do. ~Alexander Pope

There is nothing fun about being sick but we know that your Momma is really smart about us dogs and she'll take great care of you. Dad says to say he will keep his fingers crossed as well except when he's scratching our bellies. Tell you what Angus, we'll forego the belly-rubs until you're better.....okay?

Okay, long-promised report:
The surgery went well. Angus was upset about going to a clinic on a WEEKEND (It obviously meant that he was going into kennel and I was going somewhere fun without him). It was a little more deeply entrenched than we thought by looking at the MRI, and we ended up having to take some of the bone out. No real worries, he never had any teeth on that side anyway, but his tongue lolls out worse without anything to hold it in!
For the moment we've started on some anti-biotics, just as a precaution, and we're waiting on results from the lab before we take any more action. He'll just hang out with me at work until we know differently.
He's definitely worn out from the whole thing, but managed to eat his food as well as slicking out BOTH the cat bowls when I wasn't looking......

Allison: Thanks for the vote of confidence, love to you (and Lord Byron too!)

Jay: Love and courage indeed, thank you.

Sissy and Jaeger: NEVER give up belly rubs! Dogs are subsidiary deities designed to catch the overflow of the world's worship! If Daddy forgets what he owes you, remind him with a Possum. (Just say it with roadkill)

Amos: Pup is hugged.

Kat: Thanks for the talk and the reminders to LAUGH! Gertrude's Revenge!

Micca, CP, Merlyn, Kilty, Somhairle, and Liusaidh: Thanks for healing thoughts. Loads of strawberry yogurt and bubblebaths to all of you too!

JeepMan: He is a good friend, and too close to human to not be crazy about. Thanks for the kind thoughts.

wdyat24: Best of luck to you and Maggie! Nothing like a lab to test your patience! (when Angus was Royal's age, he ate a book on dog training, but only the pages I'd read already....)

rangeroger: he's not having any fun with the golfball at the moment, it falls out of his mouth. "What the hell? I had it a minute ago..."

Sinsull: NONONONONO! Not ED!!!! Alice maybe, but I suppose if they are a matched set, I'll have to accept the pair..... (thank you)

jeffp and Mortee,: Thanks for the kind wishes.

Peter: I'm sure he'd appreciate you personality induced lethargy to the chemical one he's under now!

Genie and Grissy: Butterfly chasing and a summer of singing are certainly in the plans!

Sheila: If only you and Wayne were closer....I finally had to move the couch because "someone" found out that hurdling it was great fun (thanks Wayne...) *g*   Hope your head is feeling better!

MAG: Honorary Feline Status? It would explain why he went after the cat food!

Well, Kat....
I seriously thought about the siesta thing, but when I left him in the station yesterday? The Dog-Spoilage Levels went WAY up. He soaks up that "Oh, poor doggie" stuff like a sponge, much more of it and I'll not be able to live with him.
I took him with me today and he was a great teaching aid in Comparative Anatomy, and yes, he's on his way to a degree in BioChem (provided that osmosis thing still holds true, he snored all the way through class). At least that wasn't as embarassing as when he snored his way through meditation time at the bodhi center and sent everyone into fits -- talk about laughing at inappropriate times-- but it's pretty close. I shoulda sold him to the gypsies when I had the chance *g*.

Gareth, thank you, and hopefully Guto's full life is a kind thought to you.

CP and Jay, thanks, and yes Maggie, he's a great dog.

Genie, Sully is Angus' nursemaid. He handles the licking, based on the feline maxim that when you're sick, your ears can't be clean enough. Funny, but the ears are a very relaxing acupressure point, so Angus gets a daily dose of 'mellow' from his kitty.

Jon....You can't possibly think I've forgotten? It is a little disturbing for me, however, because I think I'll need to go to Gambler's Anonymous. Not only did I gamble the dog off, I also lost the cup of pennies that was "Angus' College fund" in a vain attempt to learn how to play poker this summer. It was awful...Let's just say that PeterT is up fifty cents, and Angus is going to cosmetology school instead of Oxford, and we'll leave it at that!

Sorcha, the update was that yes, the tumor was a soft-tissue sarcoma. Nasty, and infiltrated enough that we know we didn't get it all out. Chemo won't work because these things rarely spread, but radiation helps. Unfortunately, I live a long way away from the radiologist that I trust, so that option is out. What we are going to try is an antiangiogenic therapy---basically a short treatment to cut the blood supply off to the tumor and restrict its growth. So, we're off to the university hospital so he can visit friends and I can learn how to do the treatment.

Thanks all, for the thoughts.

Oh, dear damn spittin Jaysus, JE, now what?? That Angus has such a planet wide network of admirers they oughta be able to teleport him, let alone reverse a sarcoma. I know, I know -- I'm being unrealistic. This is the pits though, ain't it?

I seriously suggest topical applications of tea-tree oil. It has been known to reverse weird syndromes that looked impossible, disrelated and not addressable topically, but it has done it anyway. I can't begin to think why, particularly, but it's organic, and it can't harm.

Tons of hopeful and admiring vibes to that amazing Musical Meatball Mutt, who is naturally loved by all who know him.

I second what Amos says about trying "tea tree" (melaleuca alternifolia) oil. (Not all organic treatments are harmless, of course, but melaleuca oil has been shown to have a wide array of amazing healing properties, and I know of no harmful side effects.)

I am so sorry to hear Angus's condition is so problematic, Jen. If we all visualize that sarcoma growing smaller and disappearing, maybe that will help. Angus is, indeed, a beloved Wunderhund!

Well, all of the healing licks, laps, purrs, thoughts, prayers and meditations seemed to have done the trick. We ran in today for the final check-up and lab stuff, and things appear to be quite well. Oncology Dave has only one pet peeve (harhar) in this world, and it is pet psychics, and he was on a tear again today, so it went something like this:

Dave: blah blah blah, everything's okay. How ya like that, Goosie?

Angus: AAAARRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (extend the howl for another three lines or so)

Yrs Trooley: What the hell was that about?

Dave (with fingers to temples): Angus is telling me that if circles were squares, and squares were circles, then geometry as we know it would cease to exhist....



So we've gone from saving for cosmetology school to saving for MIT, I guess. Either I'm going to have to get MUCH better at cards, or he's going to have to learn to dance the pole for tips. (Thanks everyone for the notes and dog cookies and prods for updates, it meant the world)

Not sure about the cards Elle, but I'm glad my dog is doing well and I'll even give you the chance to win him back.

Just tell me who "the canine equivalent of Errol Flynn" was and he's yours :-)

Rin Tin Tin?

Good news Jenny. And I agree wholeheartedly about pet psychics. I saw a particularly ridiculous woman on TV talking to and about a depressed mule. Seems the mule wanted a hat but didn't know how to tell her owner. So ditzy lady just happened to have a straw bonnet fitted with flowers and ear holes and above mentioned mule left happy and contented without any need for Prozac. I believe my comment was "F***in' A-hole". How can anyone buy into that crap?

RE: Chihuahuas....
There is one on our morning walk that comes out to bark at us, and if I were a pet psychic, I'd swear Angus' look when he first saw it meant, "It looks like a cat, and barks like a dog? Will wonders never cease...."

Much agreed on the pet psychics, for a number of reasons. On the scientific side there would be the fact that to agree to that would be to agree that animals have a 'language' that humans can equivicate with human language, and the non-scientific would be the observation that they don't even know where they are half the time, so the past life regressions are pointless...But I bet that mule sure looked cute in a hat....LOL

Yep Elle, you've won him back :-)

I've never tried the song with our dog, Misty but she doesn't usually take notice of music.

She takes notice of the TV though. If she's in her basket and you say "dogs! Misty" she will look round to the tv and then bark if there are dogs or look at you as if you are stupid if there no dogs to be seen. I've never had the chance to use this to find out whether or not she considers a Chihuahua to be a dog or not.

While that woman on tv may go over the top and take in a lot of gullible, I do believe there is a psychic communication between my pets and me.

My daughter took in a chihuahua which was too aggressive around small children. I think he was also made very nervous from early on. She can't even look at him cross-eyed without him going completely bonkers, shivering, hiding, etc., then when she gets close he gets nippy, sometimes downright nasty. As this seems to have been his pattern since he was a puppy, from what she knows of his history, she is really at a loss of what to do. Legally she has found she is liable, even if he is in her yard, and bites someone; there could also be some question of liability if she gave him to someone and he caused them problems. She is trying to work with him, as she likes him a lot, but she's really concerned about what he might be like with a new baby around and he's not safe to be around her cat unattended. Unfortunately, what is usually anathema to us, putting an animal down, is a consideration.

Sorry for the drift, Angusdarlin'

There is plenty evidence -- obviously not controlled, and anecdotal -- that communication with the mind of other life-forms is a fairly common event. But, it is better left a private event. For one thing, it isn't going to be rigorously tested anytime soon, you bet. For another, it may be one of those mysteries better left for individual discovery. People trying to make a living out of being pet psychics alweays look vaguely silly, I guess, although I sympathize with their situation. But that should not be used as grounds for dismissing the phenomena.

Happy news! I missed the original thread, but really glad to find it at this point. Best to you, Angus, from me and my girls. Misty is 19, blind and deaf, and sends her love. Emily, who is half Chihuahua, forgives your confusion as to her species and is thrilled about your recovery.

How do I KNOW they send good wishes? Why, because the three of us are psych(ot)ic.

Oh, the pet psychic thing is such horseshit. People can't even communicate effectively with other humans, you think they can with other species? Stupid schmucks continually confusing empathy with telepathy and buying whatever they are sold so long as it tastes good.

So, Jon, I won my dog back? Does this mean YOU will be feeding him for the next three years? *bg*

Hey all you dog lovers........Watch Animal Planet, 2:30 Eastern on July 3....the "Pet Story" show is called "Duncan." You'll love it!!!

Duncan was a sad story, a rescued Weimaraner, but with a gloriously happy ending.

My friend Nancy from the Weim Forum was looking for another Delta Dog. She has Weims, but her Delta dog was Great Dane that was getting to old. She, like many of us decided on a rescue if she could find exactly the right one. She and Duncan are a match made in heaven. The show tells the story but doesn't get into how he is now as the filmed it several months ago, but as you'll see, you can expect the best. Duncan has come right along and is now ready to go to work! Here's few pics of Duncan and Nancy.

BTW, another of her Weims, a puppy mill product rescued after a pet store sale that typically didn't work out is now the Number 7 Obedience Weim in the country! Nancy is pretty cool and really knows her stuff (and she actually enjoys the tales of Cletus, Paw, Buford, and the Reg Boys). Watch if you remember to.....it's a neat story.

JE....Make sure Angus tunes in!!

Our Merlee is still doing pretty well at 14, though mostly deaf. How old was Angus? Any kitties left?

Take care!

Angus.........Lots of good time you didn't expect toget.....and memories. Some said the fact dogs didn't live too long was their only real fault.
