My gorgeous girl Indy was diagnosed with Lymphoma after a large tumour was found on her spleen. We received the dreaded phone call saying she may not make it after the splenectomy due to massive blood loss. Thanks to a blood transfusion from the vets own brave doggy she pulled through.

Four weeks on & she has just had her 3rd chemo session & is doing well, lymph glands are down & she is bouncing around like tigger. There is no cure but she could have 6 - 18 months to enjoy life. We only had a shirt time to decide if we wanted to give her chemo or let her go within a few weeks. It was so hard to decide what was best but as dogs don't react as badly as us humans we scraped the money together & she has fought this nasty disease with no side effects to date.

We have created a bucket list for her doing all the things she loves, a visit to the beach, a walk through the woodlands at a certain National Trust property, a new squeaky toy every week (she goes through them in hours)

Today I entered her in the contest for Pets That Make A Home, from Taylor Wimpey. The prize money would be such a help as chemo is very expensive if any of you would be able to vote for Indy she would really appreciate it. A

The photo is what we all say to cancer!

Thank you to all that vote for our baby girl.

Thank you Taz, they tug at your heart strings alright. Indy is very pleased you were a sap on this occasion ;)

This horrible disease is indiscriminent of age, one of my friends pups lost her fight with lymphoma at only 15 months so sad.

Think I've voted - complete novice though so will ask my daughter when she gets in! What do I do when it says something wants to post on your Facebook? or something like that! Sorry for ignorance but want to vote!

HeffalumpsnWoozles · 26/04/2014 18:29

You can either click skip for that bit & the link for Indy won't be listed on your page for your friends to see or you can allow it & your friends will also be able to vote if they choose too.

Whatever you choose to do thank you so much for the vote x

Thanks, I get it now. Will remind myself to vote again tomorrow. Good luck (that's just come out as 'good lick' - probably more appropriate!)

HeffalumpsnWoozles · 26/04/2014 18:43

Haha think Indy would prefer the good lick, she shared my ice cream earlier today Smile

Okay the linky thing is now on my FB Wall. Hope that'll garner a couple more votes for Indy.

Pigginnora · 26/04/2014 19:01

Voted & shared on FB.

Very best of luck.

HeffalumpsnWoozles · 26/04/2014 19:07

I am going to try and vote now.

I lost FABCat to cancer - she lived 9 months after diagnosis and having it removed wasn't an option and it broke my heart when she went. We had 2 days notice and she died at 18 years 9 months.

Itsfab · 26/04/2014 19:23

I can't vote as I don't have a FB account. Can someone make me 181 voter please?

HeffalumpsnWoozles · 26/04/2014 19:24

Thank you Itsfab, it's so hard knowing that one day the disease will take their lives. So sorry for the loss of your girl, I bet she had the best of care in her remaining months though x

OP posts:
HeffalumpsnWoozles · 26/04/2014 19:25

I'm not sure you can vote without Facebook, but thank you so much for trying. Even the Twitter link takes you over to Facebook to vote?

OP posts:
HicDraconis · 26/04/2014 19:36

I'm 183. I never vote on this sort of thing normally so I'll share with ItsFab :)

HeffalumpsnWoozles · 26/04/2014 19:43

That make your vote extra special HicDraconis, I do understand though sometimes I'm loath to vote for this that & the other but we really appreciate you doing it for Indy Smile
