Tomorrow Queen Nova celebrates her 8th birthday!  She also (as of the 11th of January) is celebrating over 38 months post-amputation.  I feel like I am repeating myself, but I never in a million years ever thought that (with all of her health issues over the years) we ever would have made it to 8 years (which might not sound old, but is "golden years" for a Dane) much less over 38 GLORIOUS CANCER-FREE MONTHS.  I know all of this good fortune will not last forever, but for now I treasure each and every day I have with my beautiful "Miracle Girl on 3 Paws".  She remains happy and healthy (aside from the occasional pesky UTI).  Once again, I want to say over and over and over… we NEVER could have made this journey without the love and support from this WONDERFUL community of the most caring, supportive pawrents.  You guys are simply the best.  From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for helping the Queen and I make this journey.

Happy Birthday to the Queen!

And 38 months, well, I can't think of anything new to say.  You just keep hopping along, leading by example, kicking cancers butt.  I almost always point new members to the Queen's blog for inspiration, and a reason to have hope when they start the cancer journey.

 

Keep it up Your Majesty!

Congratulations to Nova and many happy returns! The fuzzballs had some almonds and turkey jerky and the humans are breaking out the adult beverages and will toast the Queen. (The youngster had some gummy bears!) Party on!

Congratulations! We continue to be amazed and inspired by the Queen. (that's the "royal 'we'" there…)

Let them eat cake, indeed!
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.
