It has been wonderful getting to spend a long weekend with Gerry. I proactively scheduled a wellness and his 3 year heart worm test for today, so I could take him myself. He hasn’t been to Dr. Peterson, “his vet”, since the x-ray results in September which were bigger than my world could manage. I didn’t want Dr. Peterson be ‘the one” who had to amputate Gerry’s foreleg. I wanted Alan to still be the doctor where Gerry get weighed, felt up and squeezed around, and occasionally got a thermometer somewhere “unusual”. i also wanted a surgeon who was practiced to do the operation, as well.
As far as his vet said, Gerry looks great, and I made the right decision. This Thursday is the end of chemotherapy. I’m glad for the end, and also hopeful it was invasive enough to destroy this time-killer. I will continue to burn my sacred Frankincense resin so that we might all breathe in something healing, and I will lay and pray, and continue on our lives as I had before.
Congrats for making it through chemo! Keep your head up and stay positive. You’re doing amazing things for your fur baby. Glad you know your vet! It’s important that us humans are comfortable with our vets too. It’s never an easy decision to make and although Royal didn’t lose his leg to cancer, he too is better off. Hang in there and keep us posted! It looks a lot scarier than it is!

“Thank you, thank you, thank you! My neighbor girlfriend gave me my necklace. She was only 15 when I moved in with my mom, and Caitlin is one of four of my bestest neighbor children that have adopted me as well. I lucked out and moved in to a house that bordered another dog loving family. Pictures will follow. Just know that my tail hasn’t stopped thumping during this entire ordeal!”
