On the afternoon of Sunday, August 25, 2013, Meg-Meg Bell began her journey over Rainbow Bridge. She peacefully passed away with her father at her side and in the loving arms of her mother at Wisdom Animal Clinic in Texarkana after putting up a valiant and brave battle against canine lymphoma. She was an inspiration to many. Meg-Meg joined the
Enjoying the 4th of July on Lake Ouachita with Meg!! It’s been almost one month since we found out her cancer came back. So far Meg is still doing well. She had a blast in the water, enjoyed tent camping for the first time, and really loved the hotdogs cooked over the campfire!!
Sunday afternoon, as Brandon and I were packing for our vacation, we noticed a larger than normal lymph node in Meg’s throat area. We were both concerned about it, so we asked Brandon’s mom to take her to the vet yesterday. Joanna at Wisdom Animal Clinic saw her at 4 o’clock. Shortly thereafter we got a phone call letting us
For those of you wondering how Meg-Meg is doing … the answer is “Just perfect!” :) She went for her 3 month check-up last month, and her doctor said there are still no signs that the cancer is back. YAY!!! She is like the Meg-Meg we knew before all those weekly and bi-weekly treatments for canine lymphoma changed our lives!!
Tomorrow is already a bittersweet day for me … and for Miss Meg-Meg. It’s so hard to believe that six months have come and gone since we learned Meg had canine lymphoma. If you’ve followed my periodic blog about her progress, you know we started with weekly treatments. For the last several treatments we’ve been going bi-monthly. Tomorrow is the
I’m happy to let you know that since I last wrote about Meg-Meg, she’s really had a great few months. As I type this, she’s outside walking in the cold with her dad! He’s a great dad. :) We just got back from a week long family Christmas vacation to visit my family in Huntsville and Sealy, Texas. She did
For Christmas I really wanted to get Meg a new Boots & Barkley “porcupine” (her favorite toy). She received one last Christmas from “Santa”, and she loved it. In fact, it instantly became her favorite toy. She played and played and played with it, and within about six months, it was time for a new one. I bought her a
There’s a song I heard for the first time in the sixth grade when we were shown a video by MADD. It’s name, If I Had Only Known.. I have always loved the song. It was, and still is, one of my favorite songs to play on the flute. But over the last two years I have really wondered if
It’s been almost a month since I last wrote, and a lot has changed … for the better! :) First off, Meg seems to be doing really well. She’s now only taking chemo every-other-week, and that will continue until almost Christmas. We attribute the key in her turnaround to Dr. Joanna Pridgen at Wisdom Animal Clinic. Dr. Pridgen put her
I have officially decided the worst question anyone can ask me is, “How’s Meg?”. While I appreciate the genuine concern, the reality is there’s no real good answer. “She’s still dying.” “She’s still got an incurable lymphoma.” “She’s energetic at times but not herself.” Those are all the answers I want to give. They’re the truth. But no one wants
