Oh Dog! DeDe here with this week’s tip to make you look and feel your best!
But first, an update on me.
A biopsy of the tumor was taken Friday afternoon, and now we’re waiting for the results. If it is a sarcoma, we’re going to aspirate the other tumors and see if they’re also sarcoma, then decide what steps we’ll take. I have 5 tumors on my body right now- one on each leg and one on my tail.
Which brings me to today’s beauty tip- live for the day.
I know it sounds cliché to say that we don’t know what tomorrow brings, but it’s true. Just ask those who have been impacted by winter storm Gemini.
So make it a point to enjoy today. Find something that gives you pleasure, and do it today. Me? I’m going to enjoy my family, my home, and treats!
And remember- when you’re living in the moment, you’ll want to use this essential beauty product- A SMILE!
Happy Christmas everybody!

Dear DeDe…….I have my paws crossed that those are not BAD tumors…..I know that some of us get harmless tumors sometimes just because we’re getting (ahem) “older”…..I’ll look forward to hearing what the doctor guy says but in the meantime – your advice to LIVE IN THE MOMENT is excellent. Adding a smile makes it just that much better too! You, my dear DeDe are the epitome of beauty from the inside out.
Holiday Hugs of Hope, Sammy
Doctors can be so worrisome. But I know it must be done.
We wish you all the best, sweet DeDe! We’re praying for a miracle to happen!! We are sending huge hugs your way! And you’re so right, one should enjoy every minute of every day… 🙂

Please pray for my comfort. I am an old dog with many ailments. What I want most is to be comfortable.
We will, sweety! All the best to you! 🙂 xoxo
Thank you kitties!
I’m hoping all the best for you, Rumpy! Thanks for the good advice.
woof! woof!

Thank you, Kevin! And thank you for thinking of me by sending me a Christmas gift. I’ll open mine on Christmas Day!
Mom tries to live like a dog…just in the moment not worrying about the past or future but it is hard for humans to do.
My thoughts, prayers and best wishes for you dear DeDe, I love you so much, Merry Christmas and happy Holiday to you ALL, love, nia
Good advice, DeDe…and I hope that the biopsy comes back saying there is nothing to worry about!
Thank you!
You look very Christmasy DeDe and we are all praying for a benign biopsy. So Have a Very Merry Christmas with your family 🙂
DeDe I hope you will get good news from the lab. I cross my paws and you are in my thoughts and in my heart.
I agree with you, we should enjoy every moment, because it’s unique. Or like Emily Dickinson said: Forever is composed of nows.
good luck DeDe,xx Speedy
You always know the beest way to handle difficult situations. Living for today is wonderful advice. As doggies, it’s easier for us to live in the moment than for our humans. This is good advice for EVERYONE. Mom and I will continue to say prayers for you and your family. xoxo
Love and licks,

Oh, DeDe, I try follow this motto. It is sometimes very difficult but I think even a half success brought a great many of good days into my life! I hope you can develop this method to a very-very high level in future and teach your mom new lessons for many-many days!
this hits close to home my older girl Cissy now 13 has trouble at times getting up from even a sitting position. I think the best thing I ever gave her was Fredrieka. She moves more and seems happier. I have seen a big change in her this past month. The least little strange noise makes her nervous to the point of coming to us for comfort. In the past a smoke alarm low battery , or thunderstorms. These fears have intensified the past month. SIGH! Rescued Cissy 12 1/2 years ago
Hoping for the best, Dede! A good attitude is the best medicine to start with.
Love and sweetness to you, DeDe.
We’ve got our fingers and paws crossed that everything is going to turn out OK for you DeDe!
We are all sending our best purrs and prayers to you sweet DeDe.
Great tip as always DeDe, be sure to post your results……anxious to find put what’s going to happen next for u! 😦

We have our paws crossed and are purring for good news.
Purrs Georgia and Julie,
Treasure,Tiger and JJ
and Angel Tillie
If it is mast cell, just have them excised. We’ve had mast cell with several dogs, all of whom lived for years (one of them 10 years) after the original tumor.
Oh Dede – I’m purring for you sweetie. I hope it it will turn out to be good news.
Paws crossed for you, hansum! We hope for good news.

Merry Christmas DeDe and RumpyDog
Hope Santa brings you a clean bill of health and all the bones you can eat
