Just checking in to say Astro is doing fantastic and living it up! Post-chemo follow up chest x-rays show no signs of trouble and the big lug has been happy and hoppy these last few weeks! He's holding steady at a lean 122 lbs (carefully maintained with a diet of cheeseburgers and bacon sammiches). All in all, Amp and Chemo were the right choices for us and I'm so grateful for the time we have. Love to our fellow Tripawds!!
Astro-nomical, Over and Out.
Cheers,
Kat and Astro and Rosie and The Zig

Oh my goodness!!! Way to go Astro! You look fantastic buddy! But who is your buddy in the second picture on the right that is so completely zonked out?? That's a hilarious sleeping style!! 😂😂😂
i am glad you have such great new and you could really keep those pictures coming! At least for those of us that had to deal with snow today...
amp and chemo was the way to go for us as well and I am glad we did. Here's to months and months and months more!! Astro-nominal indeed!

I so love this boy. Just thrilled to hear how well he's doing. That face!!!! I know I say it every time, but... that face! He's just so expressive. And Rosie, sweet, gorgeous, ridiculous Rosie, and not forgetting the Zig, of course. What a delectable pack.
Please, please keep the pics coming. I can't get enough of them.
Kisses all round.
