About this campaign
Hernry was rescued from a local pet store that was selling puppy-farm puppies
When we got him, he weighed less than 3 pounds and was very sick with a respritory infection and giardia. We brought him home, cared for him with the help of our local vet Ramblewood Animal Hospital, and he recovered! He put on weight and has grown into a beautiful boy.
With all of the care and attention that we gave him, he grew up to be a little spoiled. But that is fine with us because he spoiles us too, with his constant cuddles and kisses. We work separate shifts. (Mom works overnights with the mentally ill and recovering addicts.) So someone is always with him one-on-one. And the arrangement means that he has become both Mom and Dad's best friend.
Henry is a natural emotional support dog. He makes sure everyone stays on schedule by reminding us of what time it is. There is cuddle time. Food time and Football Time! That's the hand off between us when we get kisses and say goodbye to the other for our shifts. He loves to burrow u der the covers, is always the small spoon. His favorite TV show on the rare occasions when he is alone, is Dr WHO
Henry has been diagnosed with Stage 2 Cancer. It started qith a all lump on his shoulder that we had removed, but the surgeon couldn't get all of it. He was so very brave and has bouced back
But the Cancer is still there. It hasn't spread noticably yet, but is growning. He's so very young and happy, it's hard to imagine that he's sick inside. He never lets it get him down.
We have used all of our money on surgery and imaging. We know that there is never a 100% sure cure for cancer, but the doctors give him 65% to 95% chance to survive, depending on which treatment we use and how fast. 95% is what we're shooting for.
