Hey everyone! Sorry I haven’t been around much lately, I found out one of my dogs has lymphoma so needless to say it has been a rough past few days. 🙁 We did decide to start chemo this afternoon. There is no cure, but usually after the first one or two treatments dogs go into full remission. It goes away as fast as it comes. I took her to the vet because she was acting slow, not herself…boy what a shock to find out she has cancer. Was not expecting that!! Unlike people dogs do very well with chemo, the vet said 8 out of 10 dogs don’t get sick. Sooo I am praying that she is one of those dogs. I will never have her suffer so as long as I know she is feeling good, I will be happy. He said most dogs will live another 6 months to 1 year. Doesn’t sound like much, but without treatment she only has 30-50 days, I am not ready to say good bye to her yet. I know I never will be, but if I can have more time with her that will thrill me. She will be 12 in a few months. She is such a great dog, my only female baby. I am trying to stay positive and happy around her. Don’t want her knowing I am upset, I just want to keep her as stress free as possible. I did put her on a new diet and added some vitamins and supplements. My good friend Nikki Nova knows a lot about holistic medicine so I figured it was worth a try! I would do about anything at this point. Wish us luck..and maybe some prayers and positive vibes would help to send our way! 😉
We went camping over the weekend and had a lot of fun! I have to admit not knowing her blood results was in the back of my mind the entire time, but I tried to live in the moment and enjoy her as much as I could! She had so much fun running around the mountains..sniffing and peeing on everything. hehe! She had fun riding in the back of the Razor and just being out in the fresh air. I only took 2 of my dogs because my friends brought their dogs and my other 2 don’t exactly like other dogs. Didn’t need a bunch of barking and fighting..they all got a long great! It was a trip I will never forget and I hope I can take her on many more this summer. 🙂
I hope you all have a great day!! Enjoy your hump day!!
Kisses,
