FREE e-book "8 Things to Know About Veterinary Care"

March 16, 2012

Nearly 2 months into this adverse vaccine reaction with Lilly, I’m still a wreck. At least once a day, Lilly and I have a conversation — brain to brain, heart to heart — that goes something like this.

best dog blog, champion of my heart, heart made from rose petals“Thanks for not dying, baby girl.”

“You’re welcome. Thanks for finding someone to save me.”

“Of course. You’re my best, best friend. I love you with my whole heart.”

“I know. I love you too. You look tired, though. Get some sleep.”

“I’ll try. Sweet puppy dreams. Momma loves you.”

Trained as a traditional journalist and based in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, USA, I'm a full-time freelance writer for magazines, websites, and private clients. My areas of specialty include everything in the lifestyles arena, including health and home, personal finance and other consumer interests, relationships and trends, people and business profiles ... and, of course, all things pet related.

I don't just love dogs. I need them in my life. Seriously.

  1. I’ve not seen your blog for a while, Roxanne; but I thought of you and Lilly very very often. I’m so relieved and so happy to hear Lilly is doing better. It sends a fear in many of us, I know myself, if this could happen to my heart dog. I appreciate so much your awesome journal on Lilly. It will help many down the road. Thank you so much.

  2. Oh Roxanne, this has been such a long haul and I know it’s far from over. So glad you and Lilly have each other. Hang in there.

  3. I’m checking in with you daily now. We’re dealing with many of the same issues. Tsar who used to be light on his feet as a cat, now stumbles and it bothers him and me. We’re also seeing drool which is a first for him. The thing that bothers me a lot is the heavy panting.

    We’re fairly sure that he has a tumor, but this was a relatively good week and we just take each day as it comes.
    Sue and Tsar

  4. I came across your blog a few months ago and have been following Lily’s inspiring story. Thank you for sharing your experiences!
