QuoteHi Shari and friends…………………..she's still MOST perturbed that she can't play with her *fur-siblings*. Last night, I let her out of the ex-pen for a few minutes while I visited the (ahem) reading room. Came out to see her standing on her head, making silly noises on the couch.
BACK TO THE EX-PEN!

metastasized anywhere and he said there is a low rate of this particular type of
cancer recurring.
I'll take this one! I realize, as with Shelby, that Phoebe will be a dog living
with cancer. And if I have anything to say about it, she'll be BEATING it too!
bumps every single week. Had I not found this, there's a good chance it would
have spread and the prognosis would be grim. When you're loving on your
dogs…feel them up! Touch every part of their body and if there's something
that doesn't feel right, get them in to the vet. Doc and I both realize that we
caught this early and THAT is a good thing.

Well, I wish you could have heard the old B9, too, but hopeful clean margins and low recurrence will be Phoebe's golden ticket. Maybe she and Shelby can gang up on this cancer business and kick its ass together.
I know Phoebe may be a monkeybutt technically, but when a quadpawd has cancer (or beats it), isn't there some third category they should be in? I think we need to ponder this. Samson and Rocket, get busy.
Just last week was when I took Dakota in to have his lump aspirated, so I took your good advice already! I will say it is so much harder to find these suckers on the fuzzy dogs (like Goldens) than on the almost bald ones (like Evelyn). Thanks for reminding us that mammary cancer lives in the canine world, since we don't hear about it too much in the US. Human men can get breast cancer; what about male dogs? Any idea?

although this isn't the best news, clean margins are very, very good. thanks for the reminder to check our pups for lumps and bumps…and while you're at it, look in the mouths and all over their tongue for oral melanoma as well. paws crossed that phoebe keeps whooping cancer's butt!!

When it comes to cancer, we'll take all the good news we can get! Glad to hear the doc is optimistic. In a few weeks, we'll be talking to Luke Robinson of 2 Million Dogs, which just gave a $50,000 check to Princeton to help study mammary tumors in dogs. His group chose this study because mammary cancer is so prevalent in pups.
Good advice about checking for lumpy bits. Who doesn't like to get that much lovin'?!
Paws crossed for Phoebe to have a long, healthy life ahead.

Glad to hear the doc thinks he got it all. And thanks for the reminder to check our pups for bumps – even inside the mouth (thank you, Charon)!
Keep beating cancer, Phoebe!

OfflineQuadPawd Kancer Kicker Monkeybutt…………..how's that? (Actually, my little PITA golden/lab/nova scotia duck tolling retriever/aussie/basset mix is DEFINITELY a monkeybutt)
Thanks guys so much. You've held me up, and I will do what I can to return the favor. So wish I could figure out how to post a photo of Pheebs. She is just a doll baby.

OfflineBeen distracted (partly by Phoebe's sister, sweet Shelby) and didn't realize I hadn't posted to let you know that I am pulling for Phoebe-weebie. While cancer is always a bad word, it sounds like the vet feels optimistic about getting all of it. Rick and I will cross our fingers for you and your fur-family.
Hugs and pets,

Golden retriever, diagnosed with osteosarcoma in September 2010 — right front leg amputated November 2010. He fought valiantly to stay with us; but a second diagnosis of osteosarcoma, this time in his left front leg, was more than our golden warrior could overcome. He loved his pack — and everyone else he met.
We loved him even more.
Thanks for the pennies, Sammy. They helped.

I read somewhere that dogs are 12 times more likely to get breast cancer than people. That's crazy!!! Hopefully this new study that Luke Robinson is funding will help those odds for pups (and peeps) in the future.
