I have just posted an update on Rusty's blog. It has been a routine, thank goodness, time since my last update. I have not spent much time on Tripawds as our weather has finally moderated and I have been busy catching up on deferred yard work. Rusty is really appreciating the cooler temps and being able to spend more time outdoors. Monday the 25th will be his nine month Ampuversary! I will post another update after he sees his Oncologist on the 5th.

Chuck & Rusty

Rusty is a Labradoodle who was diagnosed with level 3 Fibrosarcoma on January 16th, 2010 and had his left hind leg amputated on January 25th, 2010 five days before his 18 month birthday. Please see Rusty's blog @rusty.tripawds.com. He is putting up one heck of a fight against this terrible disease.

There is nothing "routine" about an update like that! I'm glad to hear Rusty's doing well smile . I will go check out his blog. Thanks for the update!

Sadie is my 9yr old Rott/Shepherd mix. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right scapula 1/28/10. Our brave girl had her amputation 2/13/10 and her last chemotherapy on 6/6/10. Unfortunately, a tumor appeared in her back right leg and on 10/7/2010 Sadie's earthly journey came to an end. On 10/24/2010 we adopted Ranger, a handsome Rott/Lab mix tripawd (got hit by a car) I think Sadie sent him to us. http://ranger.t.....pawds.com/
