I am so happy to share that today is the 2nd Anniversary of Bruce's amputation for osteosarcoma and he couldn't be doing better!!!! He is so sweet and happy and great role model for his 4 legged siblings. In the past two years we've had a couple of bumps in the road but overall Bruce has done incredibly well and we are hoping his good fortune continues for a long time yet to come. He hasn't received any treatment since ending metronomics
in June of 2017, no x-rays, no cancer related vet visits, just hopping around loving life.

Thank you everyone for the sweet sentiments. Bruce enjoyed lots of treats and cuddles - it's just about impossible to get pictures of the 3 beasts in one place at one time while being relatively still, so here are a few pics of Bruce's family. Butch and Sadie and of course his human sister Lucy.
