Awwww! SUCH GREAT NEWS!!!! WAY TO ROCK IT, ATLAS!!!! I love his sleepy "what are you doing, mom? I'm busy!" look. He's perfect. Oh, man, this is great news! WAHOOOOO!
I hear you on the "no xrays" thing. It's been a year+ for Jackson and living in bliss is great. Enjoy it!
CONGRATS!!! It's amazing news!
~ Katy & Jackson
ACL tear in right hind leg 12/5/12 and scheduled ACL repair surgery 12/21/12. Pre-op xrays revealed osteosarcoma. Amputation 12/28/12. Chemo (carboplatin) started Jan 10, 2013 and ended on April 5, for a total of 5 doses. He handled carbo like a champ! No side effects. We started metronomic therapy at his third chemo and have been also doing some holistic treatments. He's a lively, playful 10 year old huskie-boarder collie and a very proud member of the Winter Warriors! Our love. Our funny little guy!
Thanks so much you guys! We are so grateful in so many ways. Atlas teaches us how to live life every day and whenever I feel sorry for myself or grumpy or whatever, all I need do is look at that gentle giant angel that we have been blessed to be his family, I snap out of it and remember what's really important and count my blessings and remember to Be More Dog
.
I can't believe when I think back about the doctors who said Atlas would never survive the amputation and that he would collapse because of his wobblers. It just seems a lifetime ago. Mostly, it tought us to trust our guts and believe in our connection to our dog.
So good to hear from you all! Here's sending all pawsitive warms thoughts your way.
