Morran has undergone yet another surgery. She had another lump, it was growing really fast. Before vacation the size of it was like a pea and now more like a pingpong ball. I thought it was just another surgery, just another lump. But the vet said it had spread to her lungs... that she probably has 6-12 months left. I know she is already quite old, 13 years in january, but she doesn't feel old yet, and of course I want her to live forever...
Oh Morran! Please give the girl a good scratch of the ear from me. I hope she has a good "old age" no matter how long that may be!
ReplyDeleteoh that makes me sad. BUT -- doctors don't always know everything, they could be wrong.. love to you both. - KW
ReplyDeleteOh, sad news! and at the same time, it's so happy the time you've spent together (and share with us). I wish you both the best!
ReplyDeleteI'm such a lurker, but I wanted you to know that we (my young adult daughter and I) think that Morran is the most famous and beloved non-celebrity dog in the world. So many people love her quietly and from afar.
ReplyDeleteMuch love for you all. xo
I thought Morran was a kind of dog-god who this crap didn't happen to. It always looks like she has a great and happy life with you - thanks for sharing it, and this sad news too.
ReplyDeleteMy Jack Russell is 17 and she has had lumps for a few years now, she is quite happy and they don't hurt her but it is worry, they are such lovely characters x
ReplyDeleteCamilla, I am sending you all lots of hugs!
ReplyDeleteCamilla I know what you're going through. I'm sending all my positive vibes to you both and hope you can enjoy to the fullest what is still ahead.
ReplyDeleteWe are all sending loving, positive thoughts to dear Morran, and to you! She really is blessed to have someone like you watching over her, just as you are blessed having such a beautiful creature in your life. Enjoy every moment with her.
ReplyDeletep.s. I have posted her little book (from the Suitcase Series) on the fridge to remember to send her positive energy! xx
ReplyDeleteCamilla, I have been following your blog for several years now (I am a lurker for sure :)), and I just want you to know that I "look in" on you and Morran frequently. I'm so sorry to hear this news, but I am thinking about you, sending you both (all) good thoughts and well-wishes. Morran is much-loved by many, many, many people. Morran is a tough cookie, and one lucky dog! Positive vibes coming your way!
ReplyDeleteohhh that`s so sad :-) Morran, I love you!
ReplyDeleteso sorry to hear.
ReplyDeleteand i know how this i want her to live forever feels. hopefully the vet is wrong and she will stay for much longer.
I'm so sorry to hear that, Camilla :( I hope she makes it even more than just 12 months. Dogs are such special members of the family. Lots of love to both of you.
ReplyDeleteOh, we are so sorry to read that. Morran is well loved here by my daughter and I, we've been following your work for a long time now and Morran is such a special dog!We'll keep sending good vibes and lots of love from 2 brazilians dog lovers to you and her.
ReplyDeleteOh so sorry...I do hope you can all love and comfort each other and have many more wonderful experiences together.
ReplyDeleteI don't frequently comment either, but I have to say I am so sorry to hear that. I always love seeing her picture. I know how hard it is to lose a best friend like her, and I hope you two can have many more wonderful experiences together before it is her time to go.
ReplyDeleteBig big hug to you and precious Morran with much love from Mr. T and me.
ReplyDeleteWalter the dog says, "Woof, woof, woof, woof, Morran, woof, woof!" - I'm not sure what that means but if I know him he's saying kind things to the both of you.
ReplyDeleteOh no! This is so sad news. What can I say. Pets manage to become one more in the family, touching some inner chords in no way a person can. To see them suffer is just terrible. Just hope the best for Morran.
ReplyDeletexx
My heart goes out to you. My beloved cat had a similar situation last year. so sorry..
ReplyDeleteI do not know what to say. This is very sad news. Morran is loved the world over, and definitely I am a big fan. I am crying as I type and my heart sinks, because I know what devastation this must bring to you ~ I have been there. Our friends never feel old to us. Morran has such a beautiful life with you, you are both lucky to have such wonderful memories with each other. Morran, I give you big big hugs!
ReplyDeleteNo. This is so sad. I don't know what to say as nothing I say will seem right at this time. Big hug to Morran and you.
ReplyDeleteI hope the doctor is wrong and she lives for many more years! I'm crying too and sending you both hugs!!
ReplyDeleteOH! I'm so sad...
ReplyDeleteEveryone here wants her to live forever too...
God bless Morran. She's such a sweet little dog. Through your stories and pictures we have all fallen in love with her. So sorry to hear this news. Best wishes to you both, and a big hug to Morran.
ReplyDeleteLove to you and your pup. Morran has such a beautiful soul. Therefore she will live on forever.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are with you. Morran is such a character. May she live well beyond the vet's prognosis.
ReplyDeleteåh morran.
ReplyDeletedet va tråkigt att höra, man vill aldrig förlora en vän och ni tycks ha en så fin och givande vänskap, jag önskar er all lycka och välmående !
ReplyDeletekram.
I love Morran. I send her and you my best thoughts. I hope she stays pain free. Even more I wish for her a miraculous recovery. Morran, you are a great dog!
ReplyDeletehello camilla

i also have a parson russell,in the same colours ,but 8 years old and i hope we can be together a long time.
i hope that you still have with her a lot of little live surprises
marielle willems
That is sad news. I am sure that the time you have together now will be extra special. So good to be able to share so many things with her. She will really appreciate you being there with her, knowing she is not alone going through this.
ReplyDeleteMorran is well-loved here in California, too. Our hearts go out to you both, and we send you hugs and good wishes. Please know that our thoughts are with you, and may Morran's days be filled with comfort and happiness.
ReplyDeleteit might be of small comfort, but the love of strangers that have never "met" morran surely is a testament to how much joy she has brought others. know that i will think good thoughts for her (and for you). i hope she will feel the collective warm embrace from afar. such a sweet pup -- give her extra hugs from all of us!
ReplyDeleteMince alors... tendres pensées***
ReplyDeleteI am so, so, so sorry. I just love your photos and stories of this sweet little dog and as a dog person myself, I really do feel for you.
ReplyDeleteÅhh nej, stakkels Morran.
ReplyDeletemy love to you both. kram karro
ReplyDeleteLove to you and hugs for Moran, so sad post!
ReplyDeleteOh Camilla i know exactly how you feel! My thoughts and best wishes are with you, i shall be thinking of you both all my love and hugs to Morran xxx
ReplyDeletekära lilla morran - jag hoppas doktorn har fel. kram till dig camilla!
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry to hear this, Camilla. Morran is so precious. I'm sharing some tears with you xxx
ReplyDeleteoh shit, this is too sad, I'm so sorry!
ReplyDeletebig hug to both of you, Barbara
pussa henne hårt och länge från mig. finaste morran.
ReplyDeleteOh, we are so so sorry to hear that , Camilla ! We send you two all our good thoughts and love . We love Morran, we wish her a miraculous recovery !!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow said to hear. The warmth, joy and fun which show from your blogs in which Morran is starrin is wonderfull. I hope there is a long period to come, in which there will be many moments of fun and joy for you and Morran, and that these moments will by far outnumber the moments of worry.
ReplyDeleteåh så tråkigt!
ReplyDeleteOh Morran, so sad to hear!
ReplyDeleteI know what you feel at the moment, this news are so painful.
I wish you both the strength to say good bye at the right moment.
Enjoy every single moment -
my thoughts are with you!
oh, I feel for you. Mine is 14 now and I can't imagine how it will feel when she is gone.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are with you both. She seems to be such a lovely dog.
Det gør mig frygtelig ondt at høre. Varme tanker og kærlige hilsener til jer begge
ReplyDeleteLots of love to you and Morran from Australia. Vets aren't always right. My little six year old Jack Russell had a close call a couple of months ago and I thought it was the end. Luckily I got a second opinion and she had surgery and survived. Keep thinking positive. Morran will let you know if it's her time, not the vet. Listen to your sweet dog. Half of my flickr photo favourites have Morran in them. She is such a special dog.
ReplyDeleteTime with her now will be even more precious. Being surrounded with love at the end of ones life is a blessing and grace that we all deserve.
ReplyDeletei'm very sorry...so sad for you..
ReplyDeletekiss for morran from italy..
Oh what sorrow! Lovely lovely Morran brings happiness to everyone, even people who have not met her... we all want her to recover and confound the doctor. If anyone can, it's Morran. My thoughts and good wishes to you both.
ReplyDeleteI´m so sorry Camilla, Morran will live as long as she has too (hopefully more than the doctor said), but be sure she will live in the memories of your fans. Most of us don´t know her (I don´t even know you personally :)) yet I felt sad this morning as I read you post. Big Kiss and a hug (mexican style).
ReplyDeleteOh, Morran! I'm not sure exactly what to say, but I know how I'd feel if I heard the same news about my own little dog. You and Morran are in my thoughts, and I'm sending a little hug to her from Canada!
ReplyDeleteIt's never easy watching a family member die. Pet's are sometimes even closer than a family members. Hope she enjoys the last few months of her life. Thoughts and sympathy. xx
ReplyDeleteI want her to live forever too
ReplyDeleteOh, I hate hearing this. Keeping you and sweet Morran in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteOh Camilla.
ReplyDeleteI can relate.
Hugs and kisses to you and Morran.
xoxo
I send love to Morran -- and you -- from Wisconsin. Here's to her tough and dancing spirit.
ReplyDeleteyour post made me cry.
ReplyDeletei refuse believe in a world without Morran. there will never ever be one. she will live forever. with love, mav
Oh Morran! This is such sad news. I am so sorry!
ReplyDeleteOhh my dear Camilla. So said to hear this news. I'm so sorry. Strong hug for you 3!
ReplyDeletehow sad... we love our pets so much... is so difficult! crossed fingers for Morran.
ReplyDeleteOh, so sad news, Camilla, all my love and hugs for her and for you...
ReplyDeleteI started following your blog a few years ago when I saw a picture of Morran under your desk: I loved your photos and your little dog. Since then I smiled every time I saw her in a photo. I send you a big hug and another one for Morran.
ReplyDeletelene
Oh sweetie... I'm in tears. I know how much you love each other and this is the worst news to hear. Now I have Angus I fully understand how much they become part of you, completely entwined. I can't imagine.
ReplyDeleteWishing with every part of me that the months left are as many as can be.
with love, Abigail xoxo
That sweet little animal has given such joy to so many of us. She has had a wonderful life full of love & adventures.You have each been blessed, having one another in your lives. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of her life. I will now apperciate each glimpse that you give us so much more. Please give her a pet from me.
ReplyDeleteOh Camilla, the photo of Morran is so lovely and your news is so sad (made me shed a few tears)
ReplyDeletebig hug to you both Xx
I'm sad to hear the news, but I understand what you are going through. My dog had surgery for liver cancer last year, but we think her time may be drawing near. Know that others are thinking of you and Morran at this time.
ReplyDeleteOh Camilla my heart is with you and Morran. She is such a special dog. You are so lucky to have her in your life and you in return have given her a most wonderful home. Hopefully she will beat the odds and have several more years. You both are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteRobin
i so love your morran posts, and this one brought tears to my eyes. i'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteAll my best to you & Morran. I fell in love with your dog through your wonderful photographs of her. I've never seen the spirit of a dog captured more beautifully. I wish you both peace.
ReplyDeletesorgligt...
ReplyDeleteYour blog brings pure delight to my day, and your sweet Morran is such a huge part of that. I thank you both. I know a little bit about how hard this can be, our doggy went through the very same thing. I'd just like to say, spend more time hugging and cuddling than worrying, but I'm sure you already know this. Sending love and hugs to you both.
ReplyDeleteCamilla, I have a favorite quote from Roger Caras I'd like to share with you..."Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole." This has comforted me when I have had the short and long goodbyes with my well-loved, and well-lived dogs.
ReplyDeleteVery sad to read this... I hope that your precious time together lasts; and I know it will, forever, in you and, thanks to you, also in all our memories.
ReplyDeleteBut it's far too soon to talk this way! You both have a beautiful Autumn!!
I'm so sad to read this, just hoping for the best x
ReplyDelete:( this news are sad... but they show us that everything has a cycle, and that the bet we can do is enjoy while we last.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about Morran. Thinking of you both.
ReplyDeleteTears because I know how it feels, Camilla. Hugs for you and Morran..
ReplyDeleteMy old dog Ginger, Morran's age exactly, was also afflicted in the same way. I am so sorry. It is heartbreaking and I understand completely how hard it will be....
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you all, of all sorts.
Oh this is such sad news, she is like your little shadow. Enjoy your time together x
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to read this! I too have a beloved little furry dog in my life, and I can't bear the thought of losing him. All we can do is enjoy the time we do have with our little companions and be grateful for all that we get from them. I love seeing photos of Morran on your blog, and I hope you'll continue to share news about her.
ReplyDeleteWhat a special bond you share with your Morran, you are like kindered spirits....I'm sending all my best wishes to you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. I hope Morran manages to outlive the vet's diagnosis. Thank you for sharing your happy times with her and I hope you have many many more in the future.
ReplyDeleteOh Morran! She's one-of-a-kind. I'm so sad. YOu must be too. Give her big hugs.
ReplyDeleteJust thinking how lucky you both are to have shared so much life and laughter. Sending big hugs. xo Amy
ReplyDeleteI'm a lurker here but have to stop in today. I have a dog that I love very much so I can imagine the depth of the worry you must be feeling today. I so hope the prognosis is off and that she has many more days with you. You must be feeling shocked right now, poor you and Moran.
ReplyDeleteMy three terriers and I have been Morran (and Camilla) fans for several years. I cherish a photo you posted long ago (and which was in the Suitcase book, too) of Morran and Drop, one of your Stuffies we have! We also have your print of Morran in the woods upstairs in my office. All of us here, two- and four-legged alike, send you, Morran and your husband our thoughts and wishes for many, many more happy adventures together in the months to come!
ReplyDeletemy love to Morran!!!
ReplyDeleteÅ lilla Morran, vilket sorgligt besked. Ha det så skönt och roligt du kan och krama din Matte.
ReplyDeleteJag älskar fotot på dig i gräset brevid den soldyrkande damen i parken.
Ramflickan.
So sad to hear it but you know she's small but strong girl! I belive that everything can change.
ReplyDeleteBig kisses to her & you Camilla, I'm thinking about you both
So sad to hear it but you know she's small but strong girl! I belive that everything can change. thanks for this great article
ReplyDeleteThese are the saddest words I could read here...
ReplyDeleteI feel very sad, I think I understand what you mean saying "I want her to live forever..."
A big, big hug through the next 6-12 whatever months are left, to her and to you
Morran!
ReplyDeleteWe all love you in Russia!!
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Big, big hug to you and Morran.
ReplyDeletedear camilla, so sorry to hear that. I'm sending my love to you and morran and hope you two have a lot more happy days together.
ReplyDeletemorran is wondeful little girl, and I'm sure she will be just fine. My dog had similar problems and 3 operations and she did it just fine after for long years, although she was old.
ReplyDeleteMorran is blessed with all those love you give her.
lots of love and hugs to you2 <3<3
Oh dear Morran, get well sweet one. x

ReplyDeleteDear Camilla, I'm very sorry to hear these news. I wish your vet is mistaken and that the young Morran's spirit will help her through this phase. A big healing kiss for Morran!
ReplyDeletethe first time I saw your blog you were walking with Morran in the woods, extolling your love for her.
ReplyDeleteSending more love to you and to her.
oh, the internet. Tearing up over someone I've never met!
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this news! Keeping up with Morran's activities is one of my favorite things to do online. I hope the time she has left is full of walks and lots of good things. All the best to you Camilla.
ReplyDeleteoh god,
ReplyDeletei am so sorry.
how heartbreaking.
xo to you.
Oh my, Camilla..... this is so sad! I know how it feels, I know this too well. A big hug to both of you.
ReplyDeletexox, Cristiana
I have been lurking for many months via Kelly Kilmer's blog. I could not stop without saying how saddened I am for Morran's prognosis. Such a beautiful dog!! As a dog lover and owner for many years, I can imagine how heart-wrenching it is to get that news--been there, done that too many times. My wish is that her remaining time is (long)happy time, quality time with those she loves and love her. You found each other in this life because it was meant to be. Be happy for the now!!
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry to hear your news. My heart breaks for you. I lost my 12-year-old pup to bone cancer two years ago. Thank you so much for sharing Morran with us and letting us love her from afar. Take good care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteA good scratch behind the ears and some grapes for Moran and a big hug to you! Doctors are not always right! (our family Dog member stayed with us many more years after the doctor told us he has only few month left)
ReplyDelete:( Sad news. But you still have many happy moments left, hopefully more than Mr Vet thinks too. Looks like Moran has a wonderful life with you.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about adorable sweet Morran. I have enjoyed following your blog for your beautiful art but also all the little sneak peeks of Morran in your photos. She is obviously a very well loved puppy with a large fan base. I wish you both the best and hope that your remaining time together is happy and special.
ReplyDeletebig kisses and hugs, Morran, the most beloved dog on the internet! That makes me sooo very sad.
ReplyDeleteCamilla,
ReplyDeleteI have lurked here for years. I cherish all of your amazing work, but it's the posts about Morran that I have always loved the most. I always save them and show them to my husband. He is always asking, "Anything about Morran lately?" So when I saw this post, it made me the saddest I have been in a long time. I love your puppy dearly from afar. Do please know that I am sending great positive thoughts: internet hugs and imaginary delicious treats and huge fantasy forests for her to explore. Hang in there, lady, I am rooting for you and Morran. As long as every moment counts in life, then every day can be precious. Please know that there are people out here pulling for you and supporting you. I care!
Cate
I have been fondly watching Morran's antics for years, and I love the sweet, wise look she has in her eyes.
ReplyDeleteI hope the rest of her time is as happy as always- she will leave a big hole for sure.
oh, i'm so sorry to hear about your sweet morran. she really has made me smile since i've "met" her. i always thought she is my favorite internet dog. i always thought when my dog was at the end of his life, that the last thing we can do for them is be there, with them, like they have done for us... comforting and just being there with them, whatever they need in these days. take care... what a beautiful lovely life she's had. We love her! Please tell her :) biggest kiss morran. p.s. the url is for my tumblr blog, where i've posted pics of my favorite dog, morran <3

Thats so sad! I've been following Morran for more than 5 years now...
ReplyDeletejag börjar gråta i kaffet här! camilla! morran! hoppas att hon inte känner nåt av det. jag vet att ingenting kanske tröstar, men tur att hon har en så bra matte och förmodligen är en väldigt lycklig liten hund. <3 kramkramkramkram.
ReplyDeleteOh sweet Morran! I hope she knows how many of us love her. The best and original internet dog - I hope the vet is wrong too xxx
ReplyDelete:(
ReplyDeleteA big hug!!!
Tears in my eyes now. Wishing all the best and luck to Morran. my prayers will be for her.
ReplyDeleteMuch love. Much much love.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry,I've already met Morran for the first time and found her really lovely and special! But sometimes doctors made mistake and life has surprises for us.Who knows...Tanti baci for both!
ReplyDeleteAh nej! Det ar forsta gangen jag har kommenterat har. Synd att det har med sorgliga nyheter att gora. Morrans aventyrer har alltid varit upplyftande for bade mig och mannen (han alskar henne ocksa). Vi sander massor av karlek, kel och pussar fran England. xxx
ReplyDeletei've been reading your blog for years and have loved all the photos of your vacations, but above all, the ones that feature Morran. She seems like such a sweet dog. It breaks my heart what's happening to her. I know that she is very well loved and a very happy dog. All any of us can ask for is that we lead happy lives full of love.
ReplyDeleteSending all the healing karma I have to U...Love
ReplyDeleteHope she will be fine again so soon!!
ReplyDeleteSending my love to you and Moran. I'm so sorry to hear this news.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear that Camilla - I am one of those people who doesn't comment enough, but loves to read about the adventures of you and Morran...
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful time together for however much is left, and we will be here to comfort you when the time comes....
Lots of love,

ReplyDeleteskickar en stor kram till Morran och hoppas ni får många många fina stunder tillsammans
ReplyDeleteåh, vad sorligt, jag är jätteledsen för er skull.
ReplyDeletedin blogg var ungefär den första av alla bloggar jag började läsa, typ 2006, och det öppnade en helt ny värld. jag älskade alla inlägg med morran. man kan verkligen känna kärleken och relationen ni har, genom bilderna.
stora kramar till er alla.
Courage Camilla and Morran
ReplyDeleteCamilla,
ReplyDeleteMorran is loved in Brazil too. I will pray for her.
All the best.

Camilla, this is very sad news about Morran. I am a great fan of your art work and your blog and Morran has always played a leading role in both. I enjoy seeing her little adventures and travels; she always makes me smile! Sweet thoughts to you and Moran from Arizona.
ReplyDeleteOh sweet Morran! Sorry to hear this news. Will keep her in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteMorran is my favorite blog dog -- I've always wanted to meet her in person, but barring that I love to see her photo and read about her wonderful little dog life. Junie (my dog) and I send you and her our very best.
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry to read these bad news. Morran is so cute. Try to enjoy her all you can. Lots of love, Silvia
ReplyDeletemy heart breaks a little while reading this.
ReplyDeletesending you and morran a thousand hugs.
Camilla, my heart goes out ot you, and to Morran. I'm glad she's recovering from the surgery (loved the fabric steps in future post) but obviously things feel very tentative now. Like you say, we all want our pets to live forever. Being given a time frame is so upsetting, but at the same time it's a chance to be aware of every joyous moment you have together.
ReplyDeleteMorran has been such a big part of your blog, I still have the clip on my computer of the day she got her new toy and the day she met you ate the airport. Lets hope she defies the numbers and predictions, but regardless, that you both have the best, sweetest and happiest times together in the months to come. Best heartfelt wishes to you both.
oh Camilla, I´m feeling with you. Sending good thoughts and wishes your way.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. Morran is one of my favorites! I love to check in on you both from time to time. I haven't visited in a little while and I was just wondering how you two were doing. Such sad news. You're both in my thoughts! Sending lots of love from California...
ReplyDeleteI'm way behind on my blog reading and just saw your post about Morran.
ReplyDeleteSending so. much. love. to you and your little wonderdog.
I found your blog by way of a tweet about the Studio Moran calendar-I wanted to send some good thoughts your way. Our pup is only 15 months old, so I can hardly imagine what 13 years feels like. I hope that Moran heels from her surgery.
ReplyDeleteMorran will do live forever... they always do! our "tofi" is still with us everyday, eventhough she physically had departed from our lives when she was eight... they become like a sibbling... and nothing replaces them ever... just keep adding as many good memories as you can, as I am sure you already are doing... I am sure she feels very lucky to have had this journey with you and the same way around... that's what counts at the end of the day... with the best wishes and lots of love from istanbul to both you and the beautiful Morran!
ReplyDelete<3! alla lyckoönskningar till er!
