I'm so happy Kobe is feeling better. I remember thinking the same thing when Fortis started coughing blood. I thought today was the day as well. It's really scary. Is Kobe on Prednisolone? I'm so thankful that Kobe isn't in any pain and that the two of you got to spend a beautiful day together. I pray there are many many more yet to come. Give Kobe a big hug from us.

I'm glad Kobe (and you) are having a good day. Remember that Kobe doesn't know he is sick, and doesn't care. Take your cue from him- enjoy every moment of every day.

We can breathe a little easier!

I'm so glad that the vet isn't concerned too much. I'm especially glad Kobe is happy!

Whew! Thanks for the update.

Your vet sounds so great. Honest yet encouraging. What a comfort to know that Kobe has such good people on his side who know how to live the way of Dog. That's it; get out, enjoy the day and focus on the moment. In the end, it's all we have, right?

Kobe, keep wagging that tail and loving life. May you stay strong and hoppy!

That is a great update from your vet. I like that she isn't an alarmist and can keep you calm about the changes you may deal with. That's great for you and for Kobe.

I just saw your post. I am so happy to hear that Kobe is doing well today and that the vet said you could enjoy more time with Kobe. How scary for you. Maybe you can take a nap with Kobe nearby. I bet your are exhausted.

Hang in there and spend as much special time as you can.

I'm just catching up and wanted to say that I'm so sorry that you're going through this with Kobe. Must be incredibly scary. But it sounds like Kobe is on the rebound and is doing well. We will be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers that Kobe continues to do well and you get to continue to enjoy these very special moments with him.

Sending you lots of golden hugs….

Kami, Mackenzie & Kobe

My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!

I'm a bit late in catching up on this but I'm glad to hear that Kobe is doing okay and that you guys are enjoying the park and your time together. Your Vet sounds a lot like mine, realistic but not negative. Keep on creating those special memories and cherishing every moment.

Warm hugs and tail wags,

Laura and Tai

Tai – 9 yr old lab. Diagnosed Osteosarcoma Dec 18/09. Front right leg amputated Dec 21/09. Started chemo Jan 7/10. Lung mets discovered Sept 16/10. Valiant to the end on Oct 26/10 when cancer reappeared in a leg and we made the decision to set her free. Forever in my heart where not even cancer can take her from me.
