 Celebrating a Miraculous Birthday and Raising Funds for Canine Osteosarcoma Research
On 15th October 2007, five and a half year old Deerhound Darcy was a normal, healthy dog who'd been out for a good run and had played with her canine family members. The following morning, she walked across the living room and broke her front right leg. Darcy was x-rayed within hours and by 3pm, a diagnosis of bone cancer was given and her owners, Bev & Marc Doyle (of Oldham, UK) were given the options of euthanasia or amputation. They opted for amputation.

Sorry to hear of your little girls dreaded illness. Whatever descision you make will be the correct one, she is lucky to have been loved by someone as caring as you.

You can only do your best or what you think is your best for them no matter what the outcome. It is because we love them and they return it, they owe us nothing bless them. Good luck with your girl.

Our oldest bitch has just been diagnosed with osteosarcoma as well. We're shattered by the news of course, and although we've read the story of Darcy, we've decided against treatment. For a number of reasons, not least because the chances of the tumor already having spread, are so high. We do wonder whether we've done the right thing. That's the conundrum: we have to decide for them what's best or what we think is best. They cannot tell us what they would do.

Did I meet Darcy in Coventry last year at the breed show? What a lovely ending to such a sad story, I am so pleased Darcy is/has recovered well and hope that she is enjoying life to the full. Bless her

What a cheerful picture that Clyde posted in the forum. Wishing everyone a happy Spring/Autumn time wherever you are in the world.
Clyde works in my fashion shop. We always had dogs in our house, so our clients are used to them, some of them are becoming real friends because of the dogs!!!! Clyde has a beautiful bed near the entrance and he is behaving like a real king (or like a prince...but I am sure he will become a king). I started to bring him into the shop since he was a baby and I think this was very good for him, he is not shy and he likes people.
He is also the Head Gardener in my beautiful garden (we will see in some months if it is still beautiful.......)
So as you see he is very busy the whole day.
Photos and words by Conny (Clyde's Owner).
