Hello my name is Trouble. I'm a 5-year-old, female Pembroke Welsh Corgi. I was diagnosed with lymphosarcoma in November of 2005. My loyal owners Bob and Caroline have given all they could to keep me healthy and happy.

I was scheduled for my last chemo treatment June 5th (today). Unfortunately I came out of remission last week and I need to start a rescue protocol now. My owners do not have the funds to do this. I need to be with my companion Buster. I need to get to the beach and run in the sand. I need to sleep on Bob’s feet to keep him warm in the winter. I need to be a part of this family! Please help me if you can.

Gratefully, Trouble (AND Bob, Caroline and Buster)

Trouble is looking very good after her treatment and her lymph nodes have all but disappeared. The first couple of days were rough but she bounced right back. She had a lot of dog friends over this weekend - they romped and played all over the yard and house. Trouble was in her glory, trying to herd two larger Pit Bulls, a Cocker Spaniel, a large Chocolate Lab and our other Corgi, Buster. Her white blood cell count is down and the vet put her on antibiotics (Zeniquin). She has a new lease on life now, thanks to all of you generous people out there. Thanks again!

Trouble responded very well to her last round of chemo. She is happy and playful. Another weekend of dog house guests. Trouble will be getting her next round of chemo in two weeks. I only hope it goes as well as last time.
I send my deepest THANK YOUs to all of you who have made some quality time with my heartdog possible.

Trouble continues to do well on lomustine. She will have her next treatment on Thursday. I expect her to be slow for a couple of days. Then I can only hope she returns to the great spirited little dog she is right now.
Thank you for all your help!

Trouble has been responding very well to this treatment. She is very happy to be with us. This little dog has the biggest heart in the world. She sends love to all that have helped her and everybody that has sent good thoughts. This little ball of fur means the world to me. I can't imagine what life without her will be like. VERY LONELY I guess. Please help Trouble in any way you can
Thank you once again,

Trouble has had her second dose of CEENU. It took a week before the side effects caught up to her. Her blood test came back with all counts low. We started antibiotics and she has seemed to come out of the side effect slump. She is looking good but far from out of the woods.

Your wish came true; Troubles' blood test came back perfect. The vet is amazed at her turn around. She is doing really well. THANK YOU for giving me this extra time with her. I'm so glad she is having a good time. After all that's what this is all about. Quality of life - Trouble has not been this good since last November.
Thank You again.
Bob, Caroline, Buster and Trouble

Trouble's nodes started to swell again last Thursday. We gave her a shot of L-spar and doubled her prednisone to 10 mg a day. She took her last dose of CEENU yesterday. I feel my time with her is slipping away fast. I WILL NOT LET HER SUFFER. The love I have for this dog stands taller than Mt. Everest.
Thank you all once again for giving me some real quality time with my baby girl.

Trouble responded well to the L-spar along with the last dose of CEENU. We took her to the beaches of Cape May. I wanted to get some pictures of her on the beach I spent my childhood vacations on.  Here she is, with her brother Buster in the foreground.

Trouble has fallen very ill with a bone marrow problem due to Ceenu and L spar. They dropped her platelet count to dangerous levels, leading to bruising and bleeding of her underside. After much care cleaning and antibiotics, she seems to be healing. Her blood test came back showing her platelet count back up, white count back to normal and red count a little low due to the platelet production of her bone marrow. Things are better than they were; however, we are not out of the woods just yet.

Hoping to continue in this direction...

Trouble continues to amaze all. She is a fighter. She is not ready to leave us and she would tell you all about it, if she could speak English. What a tuff cookie. I think it is the love bond between us holding her here. Her job is not done yet and she really wants to finish it.

Thanks for all you have done,
Bob, Caroline, Buster and Trouble

Trouble passed away September 16th 2006 at approximately 1:00pm. She was alone, my neighbor found her. It was the first time we left her since she has been ill. Thank you all who have given me the best gift I could ever ask for - additional time with my babydog. Words alone can not describe how I feel. The Magic Bullet Fund has given me a good long time to say I LOVE YOU. Thank you all.

Bob, Caroline, Buster and Angel Trouble

I just got to the pound in time today. I was told of an overweight 4 year old Pembroke Corgi. Scheduled to be put down tomorrow AM - I snatched her up. She needs a forever home. She will stay here until that time. The lady who owned her became ill; herdaughter-in-law took the dog, but works two jobs and could no longer care for the dog. She seems like a really sweet girl. Gets along great with our two, Buster and Misty

We have decided to keep Cooper. She is fitting in perfectly here. All three get along great and she really, really likes Caroline, my wife. Her nails are trimmed, she is on meds for her skin condition and a strict diet. She is so sweet and to think she would have been put down last Sunday. (WOW) Everybody run out and rescue a pooch!
