For the life of me I cannot figure out how to include photo and video in my post despite trying to use the photo/video buttons. So, until I can figure it out, I'm merely going to link a few photos (and possibly a video or two) that Spirit took with my daughter, Harmony, this morning. Hopefully, this will work better than what I was trying earlier.

Hi Katrina...I was so happy to read your update! Sorry for your loss of your feline buddy.
Glad to hear Spirit is doing well! It can be frustrating waiting for path reports; we waited 5 weeks after surgery before we heard anything too. I was panicked thinking about all the time we were wasting not starting chemotherapy. But it worked out in the end, and Nitro continues to do well 15 mos post amp.
Hopefully your life settles down a bit so you can catch your breath! Feel free to call me anytime for any reason, I'll help anyway I can.

Nitro 11 1/2 yr old Doberman; right front amp June 2014. Had 6 doses carboplatin, followed by metronomic therapy. Rocked it on 3 legs for over 3 years! My Warrior beat cancer, but couldn't beat old age. He crossed the Bridge peacefully on July 25, 2017, with dignity and on his terms. Follow his blog entitled "Doberman's journey"

Hi Katrina and Spirit,
Thanks for the update. You have had your hands full... and I'm sorry you lost your kitty Charity.
Isn't it amazing how the pups manage to bounce back? If only we could really 'Be More Dog ' our lives would be so much less stressful!
Happy One Month Ampuversary Spirit! Extra treats for everyone.
Here is how you add photos to your post, and how to add videos.
I hope things settle down for you now.
