What!? Four months already!?
Didn't we just celebrate three????
This is a great ampuversary as it's her first one during our new part of the our post-chemo journey! She's doing great, just a little bit sleepy two days post chemo, but everything else A-OK (even though she is now down to about 5 whiskers left, as you can see from the pic below)! What a brave little girl she is 
On to month five!!!
Jill is a 9-year-old tuxedo kitty. She was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in June 2012 on her toe in her right hind leg. Her leg was amputated on 12/12/12 and she completed four rounds of chemo (2 of Carbo, 2 of Doxy) in April 2013. "Like" Jill's facebook page: https://www.fac.....tty?ref=hl Proud member of the WINTER WARRIORS!!!! Her blog can be read at http://jillsjou.....ipawds.com. xoxo

Yay Jilly! Wow, it does seem like we just celebrated her 3 month.
She has the prettiest markings and is so photogenic. She looks like quite the diva in that pic. Way to go you two!
Liberty (Libby) was diagnosed with OSA on 1-22-13. Right front amputation on 1-31-13. No IV Chemo. Metronomic Therapy started 2-19-13 along with supplements and some home cooking. Lungs clear until 1-06-14. She's still her happy, hoppy, bossy self. Living the dog life to the fullest and a proud Winter Warrior. :) RIP my Libby 4-21-03 to 3-19-14

I missed it! I missed it! Drat! Nonetheless: HOPPY 4th, JILLY BEAN! We love you! Hop on, Winter Warrior!
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!

Jill you're just racking up those ampuversaries! Pretty soon it'll be #44! Congrats you little cool cat, you never stop impressing all of us here.
P.S. If your Momma hadn't have pointed out that your whiskers were missing i never wouldda noticed! They'll grow back, you'll see.
