    You Know My Story :)
    But in the interest of all of the new folks, I will mention it again:

    SUNDANCE:
    Sundance was my first dog (he really was a person in fur). He was a Golden Retriever. We had him 13 years before Cancer took him from us. He was the light of our lives - a companion and person in the truest sense of the word - I could swear he was just about to "talk" to us. What he could not say verbally, he said with his emotions and his beautiful expressions - they said a mouthful.

    Before I was first diagnosed, Sundance used to lay his down on my colon, not just anywhere but a certain spot. I had read where dogs can detect cancer, but at that time did not think much of it. After the diagnosis was confirmed, it made me think though. He supported me as much as he could during my recovery and having him here with me was so comforting and having someone to talk to just made the days seem easier.

    When we thought we were clear from Cancer, Sundance began lying his head down on my liver regularly. Kim and I used to joke and say "Sundance, does your papa have Cancer again?" Amazingly, it was liver cancer and Sundance had found it before the doctors.

    He was an amazing spirit and apparently pretty darn smart too! When I found the board, I was at a different place than most people who come here. I came here "after the fact." I had already been through so many treatments and surgeries that everyone was about to undergo, and I felt an immediate connection and kinship to the people's stories that I was reading. It was overwhelming and I knew immediately, this was the place that I needed to be. I wanted to try and help people on their journey and let them know what I experienced and that after 5 years at that time, that they could do this too.

    So, because of how Sundance "helped me" during my Cancer journey, I HONORED him by taking his name and began to help others - as he had so diligently helped me. That's a true story!

    The other day, I jokingly referred to myself as "Dr. Sundance." Another tribute to him as he was smarter than my own doctors in finding cancer not ONCE but TWICE.

    Sundance was a LEGEND to me - and if I can even begin to hold up to his high standards, then I'll be doing good.

    Forever in my heart and mind, I love you, Sundance. R.I.P. May 12, 1995 - October 8, 2008

    His pics are available in my Expressions page - and also our new golden "Harley" is out there too.

    Nice post, Jennie - take care, Darlin' :)

    "Dr.Sundance"
    -Craig

    Sheesh, Craig!
    Your story really touched me. I'm having trouble writing this through tears. I don't know why i haven't heard you tell the story before, but man, it got me! I know there is a schnauzer that is famous for detecting peoples cancer, and i know first hand how sensitive our animals are to our plights.

    When i went in for my first surgery, my pekapoo, Oscar, knew something was going on. I would catch him giving me these long, pitiful stares, as if he felt sorry for me. When i was admitted for the resection, we had to have Oscar stay with a friend who always watched him for us in the past. This time, Oscar was so upset, he peed and threw up all over my friend's house! It was so bad, he had to send him back home. I know it was because Oscar was confused, and knew something was going on that he was being taken away from. When i came back home, Oscar continued to look at me in this same manner for many months through out my treatments.

    He was such a wonderful dog. I had to put him to sleep last month because his kidneys were kaput, and i miss him so much.

    I'm so glad you're honoring Sundance.

    Hugs,
    Krista

    Name meaning
    Mine comes from Ann my middle name and 2008 the year I was dx'd and began this journey. Not too much imagination, but like others something my chemo brain can remember.
    The boys in my pic are my twin grandsons ages 3 on their first fishing trip. They learned to cast and spent hours (literally) just casting and reeling in. It was a great memory day.

    this is cool
    love to read about everyone!! Mukamom came from my son..when he was younger, he was into the Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards and there was one character named muka muka. For some reason, he started calling me muka instead of mom. It stuck so well, his friends called me muka. When I got a computer and needed log in name, mukamom became the name of choice.. He's 19 now and still calls me muka.

    "You Have a Friend in Pennsylvania"

    Some years ago this was the State slogan here in Pennyslyvania so I just shortened it a bit and turned it into "FriendinPenn"

    I get off my 5Fu pump later today and hope to enjoy my snow covered little cabin with a crackling fire inside in the north woods of my beloved Pennsylvania!

    Wish you could join me and celebrate life and leave all of our troubles in the vast surrounding woods...that's what I do when I feel up to it...

    Bless you

    Your "FriendinPenn"

    So interesting
    Life is a journey just reflected how I was feeling and have learned to understand that is what life is really. We are all having a journey, long or short and each of us have a story to tell, good or bad. Glad someone started this thread again, it was interesting to go back and read the stories..Thanks, Pat

    My name is derived from the
    My name is derived from the book of Job. Ketziah was the daughter of Job. The nickname of Ketziah is Kizzy. She was the daughter of Kunta Kente of the book Roots by Alex Haley. I was originally to be after Kizzy. She went through some chit in the book and I was in engineering at let's say a large educational institution in the Appalachian mountains so I could relate a bit. It was crazy for awhile. Not the greatest environment for an African American female that listened to classical music, but my engineering education was great lol!

    Why OGammy?
    I couldn't use GammyO (it was taken). I'm sure you can guess what it is for. I have three beautiful grandchildren that call me Gammy and the O is for my last name Olivier.

    This was a wonderful thread! As bad as I feel, I sure enjoyed it.

    Thanks!

    Kizzy!
    What good memories. I haven't thought of that name in years. I had a short, but very meaningful relationship with a girl named Kizzy when I was in college. She went to ASU, I went to Annapolis so things weren't stacked in our favor. Her name was Kizzy, she didn't know the meaning of her name, I asked. She was half Navajo and half Hutu. I always assumed it was african in origin. Now I know. Thanks

    My name here
    Daffodil was one of our basset hounds that we've had over the years. She was the happiest dog I've ever seen and her tail never stopped wagging. She loved everyone she met, both people and other dogs. She passed away at age 14 a few years ago, but it always makes me happy to think of her, so I used her name. 324 is my birthday--March 24.

    (The basset in my avatar is not Daffodil--it's Buddy, who was my wonderful agility basset hound. Buddy and I had so much fun in agility and he amazed a lot of people with what he could do! We lost him to cancer just over a year ago. We have one basset right now, our Lulu who loves belly rubs and anything to eat.)

    Wow
    Looking at the date this is when I was absent from the board for awhile so I never responded. Guess never knew it was on here until it was pulled up from the past just now. Mine has several meanings. Ann was my grandmother's name, but they always called her Annabelle and I loved her to pieces and loved that name. I always called my daughter Annabelle even though that wasn't her name, but she always answered to it when I called her that (too funny). When I joined Pogo.com (game site) I was 41 years old so I wanted my screen name to be Annabelle41 however that was taken (I really doubted that) so they suggested adding 415 to the Annabelle41, so therefore I became Annabelle41415 - a/k/a Kim.
