esox Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 It has been forever since I have been on here. Alex has progressed from aggressive Border Collie you weren't always sure of to a confident, protective, loving, frisbee playing Border Collie. One year ago today my best human friend and the closest thing to family I have was diagnosed with lung cancer that had spread to the brain. The brain tumor was quickly dealt with and the lung was brought under control. Unfortunately this insidious disease spread elsewhere, the hip and the liver. During this time my black and white bundle of energy has been so gentle with Jackie. So attentive really keeps an eye on her. She has made herself Jackie's guardian. Jackie has commented on the security she feels because Alex is there with her. And at night this dog who has never felt the need to cuddle jumps into bed with me and cuddles. I want to thank everyone on this board for the advice as Alex and I were working through our trying times. Your advice helped get us through all that and to where we are today. And every night when I say my prayers I thank God for the Border Collie next to me. Esox & Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OurBoys Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Thank you, Alex, for being there for Jackie during her time of need. Thank you, Esox, for working with Alex and not giving up on him. During those trying times, if you ever felt like throwing your hands up or asked yourself if it was worth it, you now have your answer.
