Willow's Story - How Willow Survived Cancer

In August of 2001, I went to pick Willow up from the vet where she had been groomed. The vet tech said she had found something that I needed to see the vet about before I left with Willow. I was in a hurry and thought is was nothing. I did stay and talk with the vet and was told that Willow had a mass in a very bad area and that we should biopsy it right away. On August 18 I got the news that Willow had a very aggressive type of cancer. I took her to a surgeon that removed as much of the mass as she could. She offered me no hope and very little time with Willow.

The next few days I was immobilized. Then I was a woman on a mission! I learned about dog food and how to read a dog food label. I contacted a doctor of Chinese Medicine and she put Willow on three types of herbs. And I prayed.

I started making the Liver Cookies of Love to coax her to eat. It also helped me to feel like I was doing something loving to help her. I have a doggy day care and started selling the cookies to my clients. Soon they were encouraging me to market my cookies.

I am happy to report that as of March 25, 2009 Willow just turned 15 . As of August 18, 2009 it was 8 years since they told me there was no hopr and take her home to die...well she did not!. I feel changing her diet with quality food is one of the major reasons she survived. She still dances for her cookies everyday. Willow is not a young girl now and she is still with us and she is still a delight.  There have been gifts from her cancer.  She has taught me so much about love and diet and how to care for my animals.  I would not be making these wonderful cookies if it were not for Willow.  I am so grateful everyday for Willow in my life..I am blessed!
