Why Not Hope
It might seem there is no correlation but, ahh, I got you! There is a thread if you will follow it with me. Savannah has been diagnosed with Medullablastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer...starting a year of wretching treatment including six weeks of radiation and then the remainder of the year, Chemotherapy. They sound ominous enough for me, but then there is Strawberry, Melly, and the big wonderful GOD!!!
Plus, Jonathan plays a pretty major role in this story. I went to a show and there were these soulful gentle greyhounds about 6 months ago and I stepped into the pen with them and talked to the workers, well, Melly melted, just like butter, and I only had about 60.00 dollars left but they got more of it than Melly. I talked and none seemed just right for my pack so I would mention it on the best dog list ever that I wanted to adopt a senior grey and I could never get on with Jonathan, the whippet AKA general dog whisperer. One day I finally got his email and I said I would like Strawberry. She had been a racer and then brood bitch, bred and bred and bred and since she was used up, they could put her down which ever way they choose so Jonathan saved her life literally. The time was coming close for Melly to give back and get her delicious Strawberry, the email came. Melly, she has had a stroke and can't walk and I fear she may not survive this and if she does I will most likely need to keep her. Well, I was stunned and devastated, that was to be my dog, was I off spiritually, I was so sure and so excited, Strawberry is no ordinary dog, she is Strawberry in a hat!
Now, you thought I was kidding but I do not kid about such luscious pearls as Ms. S
and she got better over time and one day Jonathan posted she was walking and I thought what is he doing with my dog. He better give me my Strawbery and I contacted Jonathan and she came to Atlantis. Tonight this very night, she played with a ball and last night a rat ( not a real rat) It was a toy, she looked like she had been injected with drugs she was so happy to see Jonathan last week when he came for a visit so the point is HOPE, Hope is a living thing, please give Savannah hope with your hearts and prayers. It might be the way out of this dark night into a princess's rainbow. Join me in prayer that the radiation will be minimal or zilch from the treatment. God is an awesome God, I stand on that. Melly
That little face gives me hope in a GOD that is all I need for our dear Savannah.

Melly, there is hope, and love, and joy. Not always easy to hang on to, but there to be found in the small things, one day at a time.
Savannah has a long road ahead. She is blessed with the love of her family and caregivers, and the hopeful thoughts and prayers of legions of friends around the world. Those eyes of hers...
She has a long road ahead, but we are there behind her, you, and her family, whatever it takes, whenever you need us.
Blessings.
... Mary

Melly, I'm just now catching up but Savannah and her family have stayed in my prayers and thoughts all along. So glad Jonanthan was able to see you all.
Give hugs to Little Miss S for me...
