It's a crazy busy month, and we're in the midst of producing an art festival that happens this weekend, but I wanted to put a quick post up and let you all know that today was Rio's last chemo treatment!

I promise I'll give a more detailed update once the madness ends.ugh

That is pawsome news! Treats for everyone – 2 paws, 3 paws and 4 paws – and I guess even for Monkey-butt oh-my

Please give Rio an extra belly rub from me..

Awesome!  I was so happy when we got through and got the info from the vet that we didn't have to come back for 3 months, yay!  It is a wonderful feeling!  Rio will be back to being Rio, and with her improving cushings condition you guys have done an amazing job with her. 

Congratswink
