Time sure does fly by as we will soon be celebrating our Littleblue's 10th birthday! 
Lately, Littleblue just hasn't been acting like her happy, chipper and energetic self. A mammary tumor was found 3 months ago after we noticed a very small growth. Our amazing groomer also noticed the same small growth. Unfortunately, the growth quickly began growing larger as Littleblue's fatigue quickly began getting worse. After another round of tests, we were then given the news that our Littleblue has mammary cancer.
Today we had only anticipated to have an appointment with our prior veterinarian surgeon who performed dental surgery to remove a broken tooth a few years ago. After receiving three different veterinarian opinions, we were then told over the past month that Littleblue's mammary tumor was inoperable due to the size and serious surgical complications. Littleblue has connected respiratory issues which began around the same time that the cancerous growth was found. We were only looking for a better pain medication for Littleblue during today's veterinarian appointment, but sadly were given unfortunate news.
Littleblue's tumor not only continues growing rapidly and is now the size of a golf ball, but the tumor has now placed us in a no-win dilemma due to the blood vessels quickly becoming enlarged. We thought that we had at least some time on our hands, but now we don't have much time, if very little time before the tumor ruptures and becomes instantly fatal. This is a time when we believe that our appointment with our veterinarian surgeon was just meant to be. Of course, surgery scares the bejeepers out of both of us! The risks involved are 50/50 and that doesn't include if and how fast cancer cells can spread after surgery. We also have the sad risk of respiratory complications that can happen during surgery to our beloved Littleblue, but we now have no choice. There is no time left nor any other options. We are fortunate to have a great veterinarian surgeon and a wonderful surgical staff with state of the art medical equipment at their finger tips. This makes us feel a little better in case Littleblue does suffer from a surgical complication, but still the risks are scarily high!
There are times in life, no matter how much you think otherwise, when time is of the essence. We thought we had many months of happiness to share with our beloved Littleblue, but instead we were given the sad news of a very serious prognosis. The tumor rupturing would not only be fatal, but we were told it would be excruciating for Littleblue as the pain would be just as horrible. Surgery is no means a cure, but only hopeful that it will help save Littleblue and give her many more months with her family.
At the same time we were given the news, as we now nervously await for Littleblue's surgery which is set to happen in a little over a week. We read the news about Mishka The Talking Husky who sadly lost her own brave battle with cancer. Miskha was 14 years young and brought so much joy to so many around the world. That includes myself and Eric.
I lost track of how many absolutely adorable videos that I have enjoyed over the years. Times when a little bit of laughter was much needed. A reason to smile. I don't know why, but for some reason the good Lord's need to call us, even our beloved fur children, back home seems far too soon. Mishka and her entire family remain in our thoughts and prayers. What an incredible blessing. To be loved unconditionally by God's angelic animals. Our fur children.
XOXOXOXO
Nobody knows unconditional love better than a dog. They love you at your worst and make your best better. That's why when they leave, they leave an irreplaceable void in your heart. Knowing that Mishka, the husky that made internet the happy escape was no more, was terribly sad.
She was diagnosed with Cancer earlier this year and passed Wednesday.
I can't even count how many hours I've spent watching her videos on YouTube and yearning to meet her someday. But I definitely remember how happy her videos made me, how excitedly I'd spam my friends with links to her videos. To know that her life ended on such a heartbreaking note is just terribly sad.
This heartwarming note on the internet's wonder girl will hit you right in the feels.

Hello Everyone,
I'm sad to say that Mishka has passed on. She stayed strong until the end and went peacefully. We will miss her terribly but know in our hearts that it was her time to go. Mishka lived the most wonderful and fabulous life. She was a true celebrity in every sense; appearing on multiple TV Talk Shows, partnered with a movie studio, was featured in Hollywood movies, and even starred in commercials. Our very special girl brought joy and love to people worldwide. We have been truly blessed to have her as part of our family for the last 14 years, she will never be forgotten. Rest in peace sweet girl, enjoy chasing those seagulls up in heaven with Moki. We love you.
