{This Moment} See Beautiful: Power of Positive Thinking


From Sugar’s mom Rosalyn

There’s always something positive in everything. For the past weeks, we’ve experienced some sad moments but we maintained having a positive attitude. It certainly helped us and provided us an uplifting spirit in a beautiful way.

Sugar Positive Thinking

Make positive thinking your everyday mission.
“Think Positive and Positive Things Will Happen.”

It’s almost a week since Sugar’s surgery. A mass on the back of her tongue, as size of a pingpong ball, was removed. It was diagnosed immediately as malignant due to its size, unusual location and statistical %. We are very diligent pet parents. Sugar’s health is very important to us especially in her senior years. The mass on her tongue was impossible for us to notice as its was so far back and there was no health risks based on her most recent annual exam (except for her needing to gain extra weight). We are very happy that we made the right decision to the take mass out as we proved the original diagnosis wrong. The result came out to be a benign mass (which was double checked by Sugar’s vet/surgeon). Sugar’s vet/surgeon had prepared us for the worst and was admittedly very surprised by the results. Unfortunately, Sugar’s vet/surgeon can not guarantee that the mass will not come back. Also, another mass under her tongue needs to be removed.

Sugar is recovering well from her surgery. Her healing tongue is progressing well. She has lost weight but maintains a good appetite and allowing her to gain back the weight. We have to prepare Sugar for her next scheduled surgery. Sugar is strong and a fighter.
We will continue to Think Positive …
and many thanks for your continued good thoughts. We appreciate it very much.

“Positive thinking is not about expecting the best to happen every time but accepting that whatever happens is the best for this moment.”

    Hello Sugar,
    It is like a miracle, I am so glad that your mass isn’t cancer. The other mass will be the same.

    Oh, Sugar! This news has made the day wonderful for Mom and I, but she has leaky eyes for some reason. Humans can be so weird.

We are praying for you and one miracle has already happened! Have a beautiful day!

  24. Roxy the traveling dog says

    How scary. I am so glad the results came back benign, I can’t imagine the big C word and how scary that would be. Sugar is such a sweetie. I firmly believe in the power of positive thinking. And BTW, thanks so much for the gift. I love it!

  27. Sarge says

    Wow, this is definitely a Beautiful Moment! I’m so very happy that this turned out to be nothing bad at all. Crossing paws and sending healing vibes for the next round. I’m sure it will be fine too. Congrats, Sugar, my sweet furiend!

    *100 Golden zoomies in little circles* YAY Sugar!!!!!!!! I knew you would be okay…I just knew it. We were all praying so hard every day for you; there was no way all that positive energy wouldn’t make it to you. Now, you gather your strength (and some weight) so your second surgery will be just as easy!

  31. Taryn says

    I am so happy you received such good news!

    Funny…..I have always sensed your positive vibes during this…..Obviously they were very strong feelings!

  32. Dolly the Doxie says

    I am so so so happy for you and relieved! I am sure your positive attitude helped and it sounds like you have amazing doctors. I had hope based on a golden pal of mine in the neighborhood, Rusty, he is very old and frail walks at a snails pace, a year ago they found a lump on his testicles and he had to be neutered. The lump came back non-malignant and he recovered! Wishing you the best as Sugar prepares for her next surgery she seems to be a perfect patient! Love Dolly

  34. Marni says

    I am so happy for the good news!!! What a huge relief that must be for all of you. – So, how much time does the vet think is necessary between surgeries??? – I hope that all continues to go well, and the fact that Miss Sugar has a good appetite is super-duper great!!! Hugs and smoooooooooooochies to Sugar please… 🙂

  36. Poodle At Play says

    That is such good news! Will continue to keep dearest Sugar in our bestest thoughts as she continues to heal from this first surgery, and begins to prepare for the next.

  37. Leslie says

    SO happy to hear this great news!! Lot’s of Golden Love and pixie dust for your speedy recovery Sugar! Hugs to your wonderful family too.

  40. The Creative Cat says

    That’s wonderful news! We are happy to hear that! We will keep our fingers and paws crossed for the next surgery.
    We are trying to keep positive thinking here as well, as we just found out that June has 2 lumps (1 small, 1 golfball size) . Bloodwork has been scheduled for next Monday.

  52. Hawk aka BrownDog says

    Hi Y’all!

    Sugar, you are truly a beauty and you have a beautiful heart. Your parents have so much love for you it spills over everything you post. Our paws are crossed for you to come through these trials with “flying colors” and go on to enjoy many happy, fun years.

  53. Noreen says

    Dear Rosalyn and Sugar, WE are so very thankful for this good news. You are both so very special and when one of us hurt, we all hurt. I know how hard it is when our pups have a bad night but to deal with recovery is so much more work. Hoping Sugar is back to her normal eating and activity level soon. Sending you lots of golden love!
    Noreen & Hunter

  55. Callie, Shadow. and Ducky's Mom says

    Oh, Sugar, I am SOOOOO happy to hear this wonderful news! I’m so happy I almost cried! The first thing I did was call the girls’ Daddy and tell him…he’s happy too! “That’s GREAT!” We will keep our thoughts positive and continue our prayers that the other mass on your tongue is also benign. Continue to heal well, sweet Sugar! Know that all of us here in Pet Blogger Land love you and want only the best for you.

    Rosalyn, my thoughts are also with you and Sugar’s Dad. I know how hard these past weeks have been on you, having gone through a similar situation with Shadow two years ago. (She had a ping-pong-ball sized lump in the skin of her throat. But we kept our thoughts positive, too, and it turned out benign as well.) Sam & I are as diligent about our girls’ health as you & Sugar’s Dad are about hers. I sometimes feel like I’m being paranoid about Callie’s and Shadow’s health; but our vet said to me last week that he would rather have 100 pet parents like me than even 1 who doesn’t seem to care enough to notice when their pet is ill (and he has some of those). He knows that Sam & I will do what needs to be done to care for our “furry kids”. Unfortunately there are pet owners out there who won’t spend a dime on their animals other than to feed them and get them the required vaccinations. It breaks my heart but it doesn’t surprise me down here.

  60. BJ PUP says

    What FABULOUS news. I’m so happy to hear you will be okay. Your energy and great spirit go a long way in your complete recovery. I believe positive thoughts and our prayers help.

    You need to gain weight so now you can eat all of the good stuff and can continue to make tasty treats for Tuesdays.
    Hugs and licks, BJ Pup

  61. Nailah Bone says

    That’s great news! I’m so happy to hear that it was benign 🙂 We are always keeping Sugar and you in our thoughts and hope for a speedy recovery! She’s such a sweet girl, we all want her to get better quick!

  62. Scylla, Socks, Tuiren & Fenris says

    We are so glad the mass was benign, we hope the other one is too and are sending a double dose of healing purrs, good vibes and crossed paws that Sugar’s recovery goes well and that the scheduled surgery goes well also. We LOVE Sugar!!!!!

  64. Kitties Blue says

    What pawsomely wonderful good news. We think positive thinking is very important, but we can’t forget what wonders prayer works as well, and we suspect you, as well as many others, have been doing lots of that. We are really sorry that Sugar must undergo another operation, but it sounds as if this growth is in a little easier spot to get to. We will keep up our prayers. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

  66. Pam & The Wieners says

    OMD, Sugar… what wonderful news to read on a Friday!!! We are so happy to hear that word benign!! So sorry that you have to go through another surgery, but we know that you’ll get through this next one just as well as you got through the last one. Just tell Mom to keep that banana ice cream coming!
    Hugs and barks and wags and happy dancing in circles for you!

  67. Cathy C. Bennett says

    Ours prayers are with you Sugar, we will continue to keep up with your miraculous recovery. Doodle Mom tells us all the time there is nothing like the power of prayer… And we believe her!

  71. The OP Pack says

    Sugar and Mom, we are over the top with happiness on your great report. Continued healing to Sugar and all our best for the next surgery.

  72. Jenna,Mark “HuskyCrazed” Drady says

    Oh pawlease keep on that good healing path Sugar!!!!!
    I love all of the positive sayings! I am so big on “trying” to think positive and stay positive when times are tough…it is hard sometimes we all know that, but a positive outlook helps!
    Speedy recovery Sugar!!

  73. Tylersat99 says

    We are sorry we did not read the original post, but want to tell you how happy we are that it came back with good news (benign ). We are sending love and positive thoughts to Sugar to heal quickly. And that Sugar’s second surgery goes smoothly and also is benign. Positive thoughts and prayers to you Sugar.

  75. Bert says

    So glad to hear the good news sweet Sugar. If you need any help on weight gain, just as My Vickie, she seems to have that down to a science.

    Much Love
    Bert

  76. Michelle S says

    I am so very happy for you!!! I’ve been following along, but haven’t commented because I didn’t want to give you false hope. Several years ago, my senior Chow Chow also had a mass in her mouth, and the Vets were convinced that she had cancer and wouldn’t have much time left. Her mass also came back benign, and better than that, it never returned.

  78. Jan K says

    This is such wonderful news. The positive thinking and your strength and love will get you through the next step also. Will be keeping Sugar in my prayers!

  79. Norma Trejo says

    Oh dear Sugar!!! What wonderful news!!! I’m so happy and grateful that you are free from cancer. You are in my heart, mind and prayers. Love, possitive thoughts and pure healing we send you. God bless you,Sugar, and your family 🙂

  80. Brian says

    We are beyond happy hearing that news!!! i am going to wear purple boots in tonight in your honor Sugar. Well, I don’t have any, but if I did, I would. We will all do a happy dance in 3…2…1

  86. Sand Spring Chesapeakes says

    Tears of joy! So happy the histopath came back clear! Being in the profession I thought most likely squamous cell and I am so glad I was wrong! You are so beautiful and have a beautiful outlook on life and your are so right with your quotes. You are a fighter and you take one day at a time and enjoy each moment. I received your see beautiful package in the mail yesterday. What a great surprise and it is simply beautiful. The bumper stick will go on my car with pride and the soap smells absolutely beautiful can’t wait to try it. The forget me not’s are my favorite. Many thanks for your kindness!

  88. KB says

    I am so very very very happy about your news. It is the best news you could’ve possibly received! We understand that the vet procedures are not all over but I am so glad that you are not dealing with cancer.

    We once had a yellow Lab who was 12 yrs old. He swallowed an object and had to have emergency surgery to remove it from his small intestine. When they opened him up, they found masses that they assumed were malignant on his spleen and liver. That is the classic presentation of hemangiosarcoma. They called us mid-surgery to ask whether to euthanize him on the table or to remove the masses even though it might only buy him weeks of life. We said to remove the masses and get them tested. We then mourned for a week before the amazing news came back that the masses were a very non-aggressive kind of cancer that probably was completely cured by the surgery. Indeed, he lived another 2 years without that cancer ever reappearing!!! It’s a story a lot like Sugar’s which is why I told you it. There are miracles!

  89. Dawn says

    Thank goodness it was benign. I’m sure the other one is too. Great message to keep positive! Oftentimes, It’s really not as bad as it first seems. 🙂

  94. 2 brown dawgs says

    Oh my goodness I am a bit behind. I am so happy to hear the mass was not malignant. I hope Sugar continues to recover and the other growth is removed without incident. You gave me something to smile about today. 🙂

  95. Emmy says

    We talked on #petchat this week about things a vet could say to owners facing a biopsy diagnosis. Something not to say: “Lumps this size and in this location are always malignant.” Something that could be said: “Lumps of this size and this location can be malignant, but we won’t know till we get biopsy results.” I imagine a vet straddles a fine line between wanting pet parents to be prepared but not to live under a shadow of doom. In any case, I’m very relieved at the news and hope the findings bode well for the lump under her tongue. Thank goodness you are Sugar’s pawrents.
