Had a really bad day yesterday. My DH and I had to put our dog to sleep. The cancer was getting so big that he was in constant pain and his meds were no longer helping. I cried the night before, the day of and last night as well. He was such a good dog and had been such a trooper through the leg amputation and chemo. It was just unfortunate that the cancer showed up again in his ribs.

Thanks to all of you here for your prayers on this guys 10 month cancer journey.

"Happiness depends on ourselves." -Aristotle

"There are times when only a dog will do for a friend: when you're beaten, sick and blue, and the world's all wrong; for he won't care. If you break and cry, or grouch and swear; for he'll let you know as he licks your hands that he's downright sorry and understands." -Don Blanding (1894-1957)

I lost a beloved pet to cancer about five years ago and sometimes I still cry for him.

I was maintaining my length around 42 to 43 inches, but the ends stick out of my favorite bun at that length, so I am growing on toward my goal again.

Oils: Virgin Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil, and sometimes almond oil.
Wash: Aubrey Organics shampoo and conditioner, Indian herbs, CV shampoo bars, or Dairy Whip. Wash approximately once or twice a week. Rinse with raw ACV, and final soak in catnip tea after washing. If hair gets sweaty or dirty between washes I rinse with water alone, or maybe ACV.
Sierra Legacy hardwood comb.
Sleep with hair in a homemade silk satin sleepcap when hair is dry, braided if hair is damp, and loose if hair is wet.

Scalp massage seems beneficial to my hair growth, when I remember to do it regularly.

that you had to go through that.  I had a dog die of cancer several years ago and I still miss the little fella.
