Tumors:

Tobie is the love of my life. Last August, Tobie was diagnosed with a Spinal Tumor that was cancerous. My mom, my grandmother, and I were heartbroken. We could not believe what the neorologist was telling us. This was Tobie, my Tobie. Tobie had always been a very healthy and active dog who loved to eat. He would probly eat himself to death if he could. He went through a serious back operation to take out as much of the tumor as possible. But the doctor told us that eventually the tumor will grow back. He was in so much pain for weeks after surgery. Every night I would cry when I would here Tobie try and get up to move around. This was my Bubba, who was always waiting for me when I came home from school. There were times where I wished he would just leave me alone, and then other times when I could not stop kissing him, even though his breath was awful but I would still keep kissing him though. Tobie has been on chemotherapy for about a year, in July he went off the chemotherapy and continues to get blood work done every month. I love him very much, and I know that whatever happens to bubba, that I will be okay. He is a very very special dog, and that God will take very good care of him. And that someday when we meet again he will be waiting for me when I arrive. My mom, grammy, brother moe, cousin yoshi and yucki, cousin griffin, aunt jean, and especially myself just want to tell you bubba that we love you and that you have been so strong. You have had a hard year, but you got through it and now you are in God's hands. Love you!!
