The ocean's vastness leads way for many treasures to be found deep within and near to shore, always changing, never ceasing to amaze those that come to adore it. Maria Lisa Polegatto

"When I go through the work to open a young coconut (middle), I love to see the nice white meat inside (left) to scoup out to eat instead of the pink or brown meat (right) to discard. It isn't always easy to know the difference until you open one up." Maria Lisa Polegatto
"Whether you believe in natural modalities for cancer or not, there is, in my mind, no such thing as one cure for cancer. It takes of multitude of modalities to fight cancer and many of those modalities are found on this great earth of ours spread out by God for all to find. Isn't the heart that beats worth trying?" Maria Lisa Polegatto Mar 18, 2017
"Meditate on what makes your heart happy, then do that more often so that it makes your heart sing with joy and brings a smile to your face." Maria Lisa Polegatto Dec 4, 2016
"Part of healing is stepping into nature to let the sights, sounds and feelings absorb into your soul and rejuvenate you." Maria Lisa Polegatto Sept 24, 2016
"The more time I spend with dogs and learning about them, the more I believe that dogs absorb their companion's illnesses. That may be another reason why dogs don't live long enough. They heal us despite shortening their own lives." Maria Lisa Polegatto
"The bravest of hearts carry on long after the battle has been launched, day by day until each turns into three months from surgery. Finally the weather has decided to stick with double digits for more than one day at a time. Oh, to run free without the weight of a jacket is bliss. Walks have increased in length. Although Spring also brings hidden treasures in the grass that dogs love to sniff and snack, her tummy is back on track with more help from her favorite Vet. Yes, we have good days and bad, so we cherish them all with lots of hugs and snuggles knowing we're there for each other through thick and thin, side by side, in daylight and dark, healing each other heart to heart." Maria Lisa Polegatto (June 2, 2016)
"Two months from surgery and still going strong despite some arthritis. Ironically, she moved better with the cancer than after so back to the basics for stiff getting ups with help from her Vet to help her along. Any sign of her surgery scar has faded away. So glad to see the sun come out to dry up some creakiness in both her and I. That sun had her trotting right along all weekend and she gained strength and a new nickname, "Snoopy", for eagerly snooping into everything as she trotted along. Today we weighed her in at an ideal weight of 74.6 lbs to keep her in check. My little miracle is sleeping through the night, eagerly awaiting good morning hugs, patiently awaiting as she stretches out on the sofa with head on the pillow and tail wagging through the day for her gourmet meals. While I don't understand everything about life, I do understand how precious it is to hug her each day and night." :) Maria Lisa Polegatto
"Now I know spring has finally sprung - Whiskey not only did her morning walk, she also did her evening walk and added another round all in one outing with no signs of fatigue. Those legs were moving in rhythm only stopping for sniffs of grass and telephone poles along the way. Impressive. More hugs today for my furry love to celebrate." Maria Lisa Polegatto  "Today Whiskey and I were saddened to learn of another cancer patient we know. As Whiskey as my "miracle" by my side, we can tell you cancer can be beaten. It takes a lot of work but it can be done. Look around at the miracles of life, listen to the whispers in the wind, and believe with your whole heart. When you stumble and fall, pick yourself back up, brush yourself off and know deep within your heart you can do it. We will help you when you're ready all the way through it. That was the promise I made for Whiskey's healing - sharing is learning. All you need do is be open to the healing." Maria Lisa Polegatto
"I'm loving The Truth About Cancer series for things I have done with my dog. While the series talks people, I relate it to dogs, with modification and research, of course, to make sure it is dog friendly :) The proof that it works is in her wagging tail and wet nose on my cheek in the morning :) Maria Lisa Polegatto
"Dogs are so multi-talented and vastly more employable than people. Who else can switch from working in healthcare, including long term care, chronic and terminal illness, injuries and disabilities, to law Courts, to military, to prisons, to funeral homes, to schools, to libraries, to comforting the homeless, seniors and veterans, to many workplace settings all in a day with ease? And so much more generous with their time and they work for free. That's the thing about doing what you love to do, money is not the motivator, passion is." Maria Lisa Polegatto
"Arthritis is inflammation in the body that creates pain and creakiness :( Sometimes foods can also trigger arthritis pain. Do you know what your food triggers are to cut back on? You only have pain to lose. Your body will thank you by waking up with bounce in the morning." :) Maria Lisa Polegatto
"Celery - part of nature's organic healing plan to heal your stomach which in turn heals your body. It's full of divine health that no man can reproduce. It's full of water, yes, but water in it's purest form is also a great healer. While the juice is healing, juicing is vital when feeding to dogs as celery sinews can cause digestive distress. Not only is celery's healing properties beneficial when dealing with cancer but also diabetes and the inflammation caused by arthritis." Maria Lisa Polegatto
"Thinking about my two Labrador dogs, Doris and Dryfuss, who had parvo when they were puppies over 20 years ago. Dryfuss grew strong because he ate like there was no tomorrow, while Doris grew into the daintiest dog I ever knew. Both their healing complete with bacon bits sprinkled on their food to encourage them to eat and healing hugs." Maria Lisa Polegatto
"Not only have I found turmeric beneficial in dealing with canine cancer, but it also helps ease the pain associated with the inflammation of arthritis." Maria Lisa Polegatto
#canine #cancer "Recovery continues; one month from surgery gone by so quickly. Dog walks get longer as the sun warms our path, much sniffing is occurring as the winter thaw opens way, appetite continues to be strong, she's alert and friendly, tail wagging while grinning eagerly awaiting hugs, sleeps are restful and undisturbed, weight gain increases to 74.1 lbs. - truly golden :). It's amazing that time heals so quickly but we'll never forget the journey that brought us here today. Each day a blessing with hugs and snuggles to start and end the day." Maria Lisa Polegatto  "Recovery is sweet as she eagerly awaits walks, morning and evening, tail wagging with excitement, sniffing all along her path, building muscle as she gains back the weight once lost." Maria Lisa Polegatto
"Another feat accomplished - the stitches are out :) Healing is continuing, puppy like playfulness unfolds, with more enjoyment for life. So much gratitude to all who have helped along this path of pawsitive adventures." Maria Lisa Polegatto
"Today I am full of gratitude for the love that surrounds me." Maria Lisa Polegatto
"My canine's favorite music, and mine too :) Let the ocean waves heal you. Breathe in each wave as it crashes upon the shore, let it carry you away as the sun flickers and dances upon the waves, the warm summer breeze floats around you and wraps you incredible love as it ripples to your soul to refresh, awaken and renew you." Maria Lisa Polegatto

"Since I was a puppy, my Mom has been telling me that she loves me very much and that I am beautiful everyday. I know she's with me through all the good times and the hard times too. It keeps me feeling pawsitive. We have had and still have lots of hugs, snuggles and belly rubs along the way. She sings to me too - I don't have the heart to tell her she's off a pitch or two here and there but I'm getting used to it and she's trying so hard. This emotional stuff is stressful and rough at times but it helps to know I have people who care so much about me by my side. Whiskey Polegatto  "When cooking my dog haddock, I use low heat and use extra water. The meat I add to her food, the liquid I strain to use in the morning and evening to add flavor for her pre-breakfast and bedtime smoothie. Liquid is important to keep your dog hydrated." Maria Lisa Polegatto
"On the journey of canine cancer, peacefully sleeping through the night.......is golden." Maria Lisa Polegatto  "Joy is watching your canine cancer patient recover from cancer and run like the wind around the block." Maria Lisa Polegatto
