Today is Rigby’s 11th birthday. Two nights ago, Rigby’s regular vet called to tell us that Rigby’s latest tests indicate she has Type-B Leukemia. The vet said that this is a treatable cancer, but she also said that Rigby has “very high numbers.” She has an appointment at 11:30 with an oncologist, and we’ll discuss our options.
I love this video from almost five years ago, and thought it was the perfect share for Rigby’s birthday.

Rigby and Annie, forever.

This truly breaks my heart. I know how much she means to you and your family. She was your first “baby”. My worst fears are those words you’ve heard.
My very best wishes, love, light and well wishes your way.

Happy Birthday Rigby!!! Hope you get lots of yummy treats and tummy rubs today
Angela says:
Happy birthday Rigby! I hope they can find a treatment that works for her. We just lost our 8 year old dog last weekend… I’m due with my second baby on Friday and our toddler has been constantly asking for him and calling him. We thought they would have a lot more years together and it just makes the whole thing that much more heartbreaking. At least Annie is old enough that no matter what happens she’ll remember Rigby as being her first friend

I really didn’t get the whole “dog thing” until we got one 2.5 years ago. Now, I “get it”. Hope Rigby’s okay.

Happy 11th Birthday Rigby!
What a wonderful fur-baby you are!
On a more serious note, her diagnosis brings me to tears. I hope and pray that the doctors are able to come up with a good treatment plan that will give you all much more QUALITY time together. I know Rigby is an integral part of your household. Sending hope and love to you all!!!
