I want to memorialize this day because you just never know what life has in store for you.   So, for my sweet Sammy, 17 hip hip hoorays for you.  I am so grateful!  Here is a pic of him sitting up for mom just last week.  My mom bought him a memory foam mattress for older dogs.  He loves it!      It works better for his issues then the off the floor bedding.   Here is a pic of his acupuncture treaments.  He is getting less and less patient about this.  He doesn't like it.

   So thank you for 17 wonderful months so far, keep them coming Sammy!

 

Love Mom

Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in the right front leg 8/23/10, leg fractured 8/27/10, leg amputated 8/30/10 http://sammyand.....pawds.com/   I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us.  Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.

Congratulations on 17 months. That is amazing. Extra treats for everypawdy!

Jackie, Angel Abby & MBBunnyRita's mom

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman.

Wow!!!

 

Way to go, Sammy !

That's just fantastic!

I'm thinking that it's a good sign that he doesn't have the patience for the acupuncture treatments.

I take that to mean that he's feeling so much better that "Hey, why do I have to do this?!"

Yea Sammy !!!

Wow — I didn't realize that it was 17 months. That is pretty amazing! Many, many more sweet Sammy! You are both a lover AND a fighter!!!

— Beth and Spirit Smilin' Sammy

Smilin' Sammy, March 16, 2004 – Dec. 5, 2011 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.
