When You Love Someone
When you love someone you'll sacrifice.
Giving everything you got and you won't think twice.
You'd risk it all no matter what may come.
When you love someone.

Our sweet girl, my canine co-pilot, Jessi the Wonder Dog Jackson. I took this last weekend when I went out to shoot some friends with their dog who also has osteosarcoma. Their sweet chocolate lab, Reese, (Ree-see) could not walk much at all, and amputation isn't an option due her age and her hips. They wished she could get around as well as our three-legged wonder dog, which pulled my heartstrings. Still, she was happy and did not seem to be in any pain as her daddy carried her around for photos.
I will always remember the night my husband and I decided we were going forward with removing Jessi's leg and shoulder, how we prayed together and started planning how we were going to get through it emotionally and financially. I think we've done a really good job of following through on the commitment we made that night.
I'm not saying it hasn't been heart-wrenching at times, but love cuts a path for you and puts people on it who will help you. I hope Jessi and her story helps others. As you can see, she's happy and "centered" in this shot. She puts that one paw right in the middle when she walks and when she sits, and she is relaxed.
