Off topic, but Lola needs prayers!
« on: December 21, 2011, 01:33:05 AM »

Lisa is my FB friend, and I just wanted to ask you all to pray for her and Lola.  Lola has been missing for about 2 weeks now.  She and her pups got out.  The other dogs returned , but Lola is still missing.  After all the tests, treatments, love and hard work that Lisa put into taking care of Lola......and yes, Lola beat the odds and beat Blasto....she is now missing.   Staring a prayer chain for her return here.  Lisa has been a huge help to many of you on here, and I can't think of a better way to show your appreciation other than taking the time to pray....and pray daily!!!  Thank you!

Oh my goodness this is terrible news.  We, including Zeke, will keep Lola in our prayers and hope that she will be home for Christmas.
Keep us posted.

Thanks for praying....and keep them coming.  Today Lisa found Lola's tag on a street in front of a church, but no collar and no Lola.  This is tough on her.

Thank you everyone for your kindness and prayers.  My heart is breaking because I don't think Lola is coming home.   She slipped out the door on Dec 11th about 3:00.   We quickly went out looking for her but couldnt find her.  I put picture ads in the newspaper and 4 X 4 picture ads in the free weekly paper.  I put up flyers EVERYWHERE and called everyone I could think of : PD, sanitation, vets, shelters, rescues.  Ive had the whole world looking for my baby girl.   Then last night a lady called me to tell me that she had seen a Basset Hound hit a few miles from my house, across from a church at about 5:30 or 6:00 on Dec 11th.  She said a white or silver mini van was in front of her with its hazzard lights one. I drove that road late that night looking for her and many, many times since.  I never saw my girl.   We went up to the area and I walked along the road.  I found my baby girls tag lying on the side of the road.  But no Lola.  Today we went back and I found a piece of her collar.  But still no answer as to what happened to her.  I have to find out where she is.   I pray for a miracle, but that just might be too much to ask for again. 

I am so thankful that God gave me another year with my baby girl but I don't understand why he would want to take my angel girl so badly after she fought so hard to live?

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers.  Unfortunately, after weeks of searching for Lola, yesterday I found out that she was hit by woman in a minivan not 45 min after she slipped out the front door.  We went out looking for her right away.  But it seems when we went left she went right and visa versa.  At one point she came home and played with my next door neighbors and then headed back toward the big street which we were just leaving to go search the other direction.  The husband of the lady said she was either with another dog or running toward another dog on the other side of the road when she was hit. Its not a pretty story and I wont go into details but the man assured me that she was killed.  He showed me where it happened and it was right where I found her tag.  There were pieces of headlight and car trim right there that I didn't even notice when I found her tag and part of her collar.  The man said he followed his wife home and came back to get her out of the road but she was gone.  I don't know who took her away or why, I can only hope it was a compassionate act.   I wish I could have brought her home and said goodbye to her, but I needed time to accept this and maybe God knew I wouldn't have been able to handle finding her like that.  Idk.

I prayed for a year that she would get better.  Healthy enough to run and play again in the back with her children.  And she did, she was healthy all summer and fall.  She ran and she played and enjoyed life.  She had just got her first negative antigen test just a little over a month earlier.  She had beat the the Blasto.  But as many of your know, I feared a relapse so badly.  Maybe in my heart, I knew that no matter how hard we fought the Blasto, she wasn't going to be able to cheat death.  I don't understand why God wanted her so badly.  Maybe he needed a little angel in heaven. I don't know why or how something this random and quick could take her from me after we had gone through so much.  She fought so hard, bless her little heart.  I will miss my baby girl forever, she was the light of my life and my best friend. 

I hope you can understand that right now, this site is very hard for be to come to.  I hope as time heals my heart it will become easier. But please know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.  And I'm sure Lola is trying to work miracles from heaven.  Please keep the faith and know that you can beat this awful disease.  If you need anything please just yell.  Please keep your babies safe and secure.  God bless.

Lisa.

Thank you Cathy.  I have made some very wonderful friends as a result of my baby girl and I was blessed with every day I had with her.  My mom says maybe this was Gods way of saving us from having to deal with her getting sick again.   I don't know.  I guess I never will know.  But she died healthy, happy and quickly while having a good time.  She wasn't lingering in illness or struggling to breath and I didn't have to put her down.  I'm trying very hard to find the blessing in that.  Its just so unfair.

Knowing what you went through with Lola and losing her like this makes me so sad.  I understand that it is difficult for you to visit the site but please know that your advice and suggestions helped Zeke immensely! If it weren't for you and this site Zeke would not be here today. For that I thank you and Lola from the bottom of my heart.  I am so sorry that this happened  :'(.

Your pain must be tremendous. Take solace in knowing you did everything you could for her. Then get mad  >:(because the stupid lil bitch ran off and got hit. Then laugh  ;D at the irony of your journey. Remember the Exxon Valdez oil spill? So many great people that nurtured seals back to good health. When the time came to release them back to the wild, they overlooked the pod of killer whales waiting off shore.  :o Yeah...how would you cope with that? The answer to your question to God is right here Lisa. When your pain has lessened, please come back.

 Jake is doing great, started him on a raw meat diet and have seen remarkable recovery.

Thank you for being so kind.  I miss her so much every day.  I still cannot believe she is gone, I cry every day.  But I know that she was healthy and happy when she went and I find a little peace in that.

In the back of the house our acreage connects with probably 6 other neighbors.  The whole area is fenced of at the front and bordered by the Tennessee River on the other two sides.  All and all there is about 32 wooded acres that all of of dogs enjoy.  The other day, one of my neighbors called me and was telling me that he had just saved a coon from Lola and her pups the day before.  They had it hostage in a log and he had to lure them away with hot dogs.  Then he said about a week before that she had a fox going one way and a deer going the other.  It warmed my heart to hear that she had been having such a great time.  About this time last year I  wondered if she would ever be able to do that again.  She had so much to enjoy in the back, I cant understand why she wanted out front.   

I'm really glad Jake is doing so well.  Give him a big hug and kiss from me.
