Hooray! 1 week ampuversary and Beamer had a great day! Beamer has had a few sluggish days due to his hips hurting him. But vet gave him some Gabapentin to start last night and boy was Mama Sue right, it went to work fast and Beamer had a great day. We went to his regular vet to have his bandage removed and he showed off for everybody how well he could walk(with help from his little rubber Pawz Booties )! OMG what traction they gave him! He kissed all the girls! I was so glad to see my old Beamer finally showing up!
Thank you all for the great advice and support over the last week. (We also have our harness on order, i know we are gonna need that, he reminded me today how he loves his squirrels!)

Oh Beamer you are rockin' your recovery! What wonderful news to wrap up our day over here. I would love to see some pics of you in your stylish PAWS booties and harness (thanks so much for ordering, I'm pretty sure you're gonna love it!).
Whatever else we can do to make your life easier just let us know OK?

Happy Ampuversary Beamer! It was a good day and it only gets better from here!!
Zeus was a Husky mix diagnosed with Osteosarcoma at age 11. A visible lung met and suspicious spot on his liver meant a poor prognosis-six weeks was our vet's best guess. We decided to fight for our boy and his right front leg was amputated on 12/1/11. We did six rounds of chemo, changed his diet and spoiled him completely rotten. We were blessed with 10 great months after diagnosis. Against the odds, the lung met remained a single met and grew very little over those months. A wonderful furbaby with the most gentle spirit, he fought with a strength that we never imagined he possessed. We have no regrets...

Hooray Beamer, here's to many many many many more ampuversaries in your future! Treats for everyone!
Jackie, Angel Abby'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.

Way to go Beamer!! Sounds like you are well on your way to rock star status.
Keep up the good healing, and we do need some pictures.

Hugs to you, and your mama.
Keep us posted, and keep up the healing!!!

Yeh! Way to go Beamer. That's wonderful news.
Karen and Spirit Magnum
Magnum: 30th May 2002 to 5th May 2012. Lost her back left leg to osteosarcoma on 5th Sep 2011. Lung mets found on 20th Mar 2012 but it was bone mets in the hip that ended her brave battle. Magnum's motto - "Dream as if you'll live for ever, live as if you'll die today" (James Dean). Loyal, loving, courageous and spirited to the end. My beloved heart dog, see her memoirs from Rainbow Bridge ...... http://princess.....pawds.com/
