We have been so very blessed and Allen has celebrated one year on three paws.

I wish I could say we had epic adventures but Allen hates leaving our property.  That's not completely true, he loves car rides and doesn't care how long he is in the car for.  Just never get out of the car. 

We got him his own minivan in July.  I had been looking all through covid for him but vans were in short supply.  His chariot is actually a fixer upper.  Everything was in good working order, it just needed a lot of regularly scheduled maintenance.  Both Allen and Walton love the van.  They both use the ramp in and out but I can also pull up to a curb and Allen can hop in and out on his own. 

We celebrated with cheeseburgers and some sous vide steak.

The Brothers Nope at an acupuncture appointment for Allen.  Allen still panics when going to the vet, shakes life a leaf, and Walton always comes along for moral support.

Thank you.  Due to his fear of vets offices, we chose not to do chemo.  Keep his stress down.

He just limits his carbs, takes 100/mg per kg of turkey tail a day, has acupuncture at least once a month, and takes a Chinese supplement, JING-TANG WEI QI BOOSTER, that we call magic dirt.  He gets it in a can of food.

That's a good call for Allen! Chemo isn't right for every situation, and quality of life always comes first. You are so good at doing that for your dogs. They always have such a great life even when dealing with something like cancer. His therapy sounds fantastic!
