Begging
Still waiting for results. So on a slightly happier note, my M said she will never stop me from begging if I get well. I hope she keeps her word! Everyone be my witness!
Hooray to begging!
We have beach pictures from 2 weeks ago, but my M is too lazy to sort them out. Maybe at a later date. My M would like to say a few words.
(M: I'll like to thank everyone who has been praying for Herbie. Some whom I've never met, or never knew the existence, or silent readers until now. I've told friends and everyone is sending their kind thoughts, prayers and wishes. It's amazing how an average dog like Herbie has managed to crawl into so many people's hearts. I guess that's what dogs do best. Crawl into your hearts quietly and before you know it, they've made themselves comfortable there with their cushy bed and favourite snacks.
I'm still hoping against hope that Herbie's results will be in the 10% that's negative. Failing that, I've read a one and only article whose dog managed to be in remission for more than 5 years, and I hope that Herbie will be as much of a miracle dog as that one. There's still so much that I want Herbie to do. I want him to teach Helios how to be patient. I want my first kid to be old enough to know who Herbie is. I want Herbie to live a few more happy years, at least until his age reaches the double digit. And I hope he will find the courage to fight to survive.)
Ok, let's get moving with the sentimental part. I'm not dead yet. The important thing is.... I can BEG for all I want now!!!!

Herbie..WOOHOOOOOO....Wooohooo!!!
Hi Herbie. Will pray all the best for you too. You have really touched my heart with your blog. Hope to meet you in real life one of these days.
just checking on you to see what's the latest and still keeping my paws tightly crossed for you, my dear pal!
you've been a great dog blogger and and even greater big brother to Helios....and i'm sure you'll continue to be that (and much more!) for a long long long long time!
take care...be back later. :)
Whoa! You're begging for the best stuff Herbie! If your begging works, please save one of those for me too, okay? This means you have to live a long time because it'll take me a long time to walk to your house to get it!
Love ya lots,
Maggie
I couldnt stop crying reading your blog and DS post. I know this is silly given that I have never met this dog. So I keep reminding myself that I should be praying for Herbie rather than to let tears flow.
And the last line in this latest entry finally made me laugh. Herbie is so positive and he never fails to put a smile on my face. I could easily imagine him saying that exact line if he can actually speak :P
Herbie's results will fall in the 10% group. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise, to let the family ponder upon how you should cherish him even more, how to pamper him every single day, how to make every single hour with him a quality time and of course, to allow him to beg ;P

WOW all those donuts, just dive right in, hee hee
You are in our thoughts Herbie!
Balboa and Mommy
Hi Herbie,
Yes you won't believe how much of an impact u have on the people around you. When mom heard the news from godma, she kept asking dad 'Herbie how?'.. and dad kept asking back 'How come ah?'...
Don't worry, my whole family (plus The Maid) is praying for you.. Stay strong.
Mom's note to ur M: I so TOTALLY understand what u mean. Like u, it's always been a silent wish I had that I want my kid to know Huskee and grow up with him...
Dearest Herbie,
Cassie (the Cairn Terrier) and I leave our best wishes *hugz* Fight on strong. You have touched our hearts deeply.
Live each day to the fullest pal! Do not let the quantity of time each of us have left bother us, let's just make sure it's quality time spent together come what may, for better or worse. That's the valuable lesson you've taught me, to love and dote on Cassie to the most each day.
Take care Herbie, Helios and family...
Sending you major AIRE ZEN Herbie, GET WELL SOON!!!!!
Love,
Bogart
Herbie,
Please remain positive. Actually, I got an enlarged lymph nodes since I was 2+ but my vet say that it could be cause by many reasons and I am alright ***TOUCH WOOD*** all these years.
Have faith in yourself and dun give up. I will continue to pray for you.
Luv,
Snowball
Oh, yeah, WORK IT, Herbie!

Oh Dogness what a nice platter of donuts!!!!! All for YOU!!!!!!
Keep your nose to the table
Keep your sights on the floor

Hi Herbie,
We read about you on the DWB news and wanted to stop by and give you a few encouraging woofs.
We'll be thinking about you and looking forward to some good news.

Herbie:

Beggin' whos beggin' that's asking really nice right ???
We'll be sending AIRE ZEN with Bogart...
Hey Herbie,
Okay, I will definately remind your Mom if she forgets what she says about BEGGING. :)
We are all saying some prayers here Herbie. Even if we don't know you well...and there are FIVE of us. Think of all that prayer power, and if you add in Mom...well there you go.
Here's hoping you're a miracle...I know I am...my tumor was cancer, but it turned out to be the kind that isn't likely to matastize...or something like that. Keep up the faith.

hiya Herbie,
i'm sending u all my silky zen-zen vibes! paws crossed for your biopsy results! 10% 10% 10% 10%....
Hey, Herbie Boy!
Just heard about you from DWB News. I'm planning on spending many years reading your blog (from here on out). Be strong, and know that there's an army of dogs praying for you and hoping for the best. (I'm one of them)!
Also, along with Airedale Zen, I'm sending along some of my cosmic goober juice (I'm told my drool has healing properties). Couldn't hurt, right?
Goober love,
Stanley
Herbie Herbie do stay strong! You will overcome this and get well soon! I will ask my mommie to give you lots of treats for staying strong and pawsitive.
so herbiw also learn d fine art of begging
Am coming out of lurking to send you and Herbie good vibes. You don't know me, I've been reading since I found your blog mentioned in the papers in an article about dogs with blogs. I have a mini Schnauzer and a smooth fox terrier. There is something about a dog that pulls dog people together, so much more a sick one.
Queeni, my Schnauzer had a mast cell tumour removed, along with a toe, earlier this year. At first, we weren't sure if the amputation would involve the entire foot or even a leg. But as it turned out, it was not as bad as we feared and she has since recovered.
She taught me one thing -- that sometimes owies come but they almost certainly go. That one can milk one's humans while one's not feeling so good and continue to milk them for long after.
And that dogs can take almost anything in their stride. That's how big they are. And that we, the humans, can only hope to keep up.
Best of luck to you and your boy.
That is a beautiful picture of you Herbie - keep up the begging and I've got everything crossed for you that you will be in that 10%.

hi herbie, i'm happy for the begging deal you struck with your mommy!
i hope, hope, hope your test results will be negative. there is a supplement from japan called sun chlorella that is supposed to help with cancer and with the maintenance of good health overall. you can google it and see if you might want to try it (available locally in guardian but cheaper in certain chinese medical halls at $120 or so). it's for human consumption but mom just does a body weight division and gives me about 4 tablets every day to keep me healthy. there is also a pet version in the pet shops but i haven't tried it.
is the reiki helping? my mom believes in alternative health therapies as a complement to what the vet prescribes too. please keep us updated when you can. take care herbie!
loves and hugs,
fee
I saw Opy's post and went to check out how you are doing..
I hope you're feeling better now..
we'll keep you in our prayers.
Wuffs!

Hi Herbie,
I am praying for you. Be strong and I strongly believe that God will bless you. I hope this website discussing about cancer would be useful for you and your family.
